Welcome to the
Department of Journalism
Discovering answers to the who, what, when, where, how and why of tomorrow through experience today.
Journalism students at the University of Rhode Island work collaboratively in our labs and studios with their classmates and their professors to produce multi-media news video and stories. Students also work in pairs or teams in classroom-based courses and complete off-campus reporting projects to enhance their learning and to prepare them for work in the increasingly complex news media.
We are the only degree-granting journalism program in Rhode Island!
| "I consider myself among the luckiest of people, because journalism, when it's done well, is the proudest and most noble of professions."

Journalism "skills courses" -- through individual and collaborative assignments -- focus on reporting, writing, editing and producing news. "Conceptual" courses provide students the intellectual foundation and framework necessary to be a responsible journalist. And through its General Education course offerings, the Department of Journalism provides non-majors a forum for studying the importance of journalism and the role of the mass media in society.
