That’s not all, though. In addition to dedicated training in writing, editing, and reporting, Journalism wants a working knowledge of history, culture, and current events. You’ll more than likely be required to take up a broad range of courses that runs the range from statistics to the hard sciences to economics to history. There would also be a lot of haughty talk about professional ethics and civic responsibility too - and you’ll be tested on it. To top it all off, you’ll perhaps work on the university newspaper or radio station, or possibly complete an internship with a magazine or a mass media conglomerate.
