MULTIMEDIA STUDIES PROGRAM Multimedia Journalism 1 2 3 4 The Multimedia Journalism Sequence prepares students to work in the new media convergence environment—where competition, deregulation, and digital technology break down the barriers among print, radio, television, and the Internet. Students are expected to develop strong basic writing and analytical skills and then to become adept at writing and producing for multiple media platforms simultaneously, exhibiting the versatility necessary to succeed in a quickly evolving and growing media market. The goals of the Multimedia Journalism Sequence are to provide a broad liberal arts education as well as develop professional skills so that graduates are able to fully exercise the civic responsibilities of journalists for the lively functioning of democratic institutions. In addition, students will choose an emphasis in another discipline that will help them fulfill the important role of information provider in today's global, technological, and information-based society.
