Journalism

The Department of Communication Studies' journalism minor focuses on reporting, news writing, editing and design, online journalism, photojournalism, and mass communication law and ethics, and is taught by experienced and capable faculty. Students often combine journalism with a major in Electronic Media, Political Communication, or Public Relations for a career in print, online, and broadcast journalism.

The program helps place students in internships at the Waterloo Courier, the Cedar Falls Times, and print, radio and television newsrooms throughout the Midwest. Our students also often write and edit for the campus newspaper, the Northern Iowan.
