Program description - September 2021
Factual reporting plays a critical role in society today. In this two-year Journalism Program at Conestoga College, you will learn the fundamentals of research, interviewing and writing with the legal and ethical standards required to reveal the truth within a story. This program also allows you to develop the technical skills needed for digital news reporting and storytelling across traditional, online and mobile platforms. As a student in this program, you will work within the college’s digital news environment Spokeonline.com reporting stories from the community. In addition to first-hand experience with the challenges and deadlines of real-world production cycles, you will receive in-depth training in story development, live reporting, feature reporting, opinion writing, photojournalism and long-form reporting approaches, such as documentary production and magazine writing.
