Journalism majors learn how to find information and communicate their findings through writing, audio, video and photography. Journalism is good preparation not only for news reporting and writing, but for editing, public relations and new-media production. Journalistic research, interviewing and writing skills are useful across a broad range of careers, including law, business and social services. Competition for entry-level journalism jobs can be keen, especially for prestigious publications and media outlets. Expect to start in a smaller operation and move on as you build your career. At the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, two specializations are offered: Journalism and Creative Writing, and Business Journalism.
