About the Program The Journalism Program offers a variety of classroom and practical experiences in print and broadcast journalism. Students are introduced to emerging as well as traditional approaches to news coverage, with an emphasis on understanding the important role journalists have in public life. The study of journalism at Earlham is shaped by the idea that journalism is public work and that responsible, credible news reporting is essential to our democratic way of life. The two core courses provide an introduction to journalistic writing, editing and publication design. Hands-on experience is central. Students' class assignments can be printed in the student newspaper The Earlham Word (also published online). Students also have the opportunity to write news for the campus radio station, WECI-FM. Additional coursework offers opportunities to learn photography, to explore more creative forms of writing, and to explore the ethics involved in news coverage of conflict. Students gain valuable experience working for the paper, radio station, magazines, yearbook and literary magazine. They work in internships with professional news organizations in the surrounding community and throughout the world. Students also have participated in a variety of special topics courses and research projects. Internships can be arranged independently by students or through the Great Lakes Colleges Association's New York Arts or Philadelphia programs. Earlham students have served as interns at locations as varied as The Palladium-Item in Richmond and at ABC News. Graduates who minored in journalism have gone on to work in the professional media or to study at such respected journalism and writing programs as those offered by the University of Missouri at Columbia, Indiana University, University of Colorado at Boulder, and Emerson College in Boston. Earlham graduates have gone on to work as reporters and editors for the San Francisco Chronicle, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Salem (Ore.) Statesman Journal, The Korea Herald and many other newspapers; as a bureau chief for The Associated Press in Europe; in the editorial departments of Congressional Quarterly and John Wiley & Sons Inc. (book publishers); as broadcast news anchors and producers at network stations in Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Madison, Wis.; and as Web site designers. |
