Be Curious

Pursuing a concentration in journalism is much more than writing and reporting. Here, you will learn what talents are required to clearly communicate important information, research your topic, practice your interview skills, and understand the more technical aspects of the business such as print, layout planning, infographics, images, and interactive features. Each skill gives you the opportunity to lean into your natural curiosity as you find and communicate everyday stories and events.

A wide array of professional roles and jobs are available in this career path and include working as a researcher, reporter, writer, editor, or producer for magazines, newspapers, web outlets, social media, and television/radio broadcasts. These skills also translate well to careers in public relations and even marketing. 

Build your future here through a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Media with a concentration in journalism at NGU.
