Ask the right questions and communicate information
Communicating in the ever-changing world of news media.
With Mount Mercy’s major or minor in journalism, you’ll learn excellent 写作 and communication skills, basics in layout and 设计, 法律, 摄影, 和编辑.
Dedicated faculty who work actively in the fast-paced world of journalism will be your mentors, coaching you in the professional and ethical standards crucial to securing your first beat.
Students in this major develop skills and knowledge that enable them, 例如, to: create a multimedia portfolio that demonstrates several competencies; execute key journalism skills, such as 写作 a complete story package; and translate the essential defining elements of journalism.
My years as an editor on 仁慈山时报 offered me invaluable experience for my future. I will always use the skills learned in the classroom and by being a part of the newspaper staff.
