PRINT JOURNALISM

Classwork:
Print journalism prepares students for careers with newspapers or magazines.  Required course work includes reporting, copy editing, information graphics and specialized writing.

Career development:
Newspaper internships offer students top opportunities to work as reporters and copy editors in newsrooms across the country such as The Oregonian, The Charlotte Observer, The Birmingham News, The State and The New York Times.

Capstone Experience:
Senior print journalism majors produce a weekly newspaper, The Carolina Reporter, as part of their practicum. Each issue of the newspaper is critiqued by print media professionals.

In 2001, the Carolina Reporter was judged "Best in the Nation" by The Society of Professional Journalists. In 2002, the Society of Professional Journalists awarded the paper additional writing, design and web publishing awards.
