Journalism

The Journalism major at the University of Georgia is designed to prepare students for jobs in news organizations. Students learn to find and tell stories that matter on multiple platforms for a variety of audiences.  They develop storytelling skills in audio, visual and written forms.  They learn what makes a story important, how to gather credible information, and how to present it in the most effective way while balancing the ethical and legal needs of news organizations and audiences.  Grady Journalism graduates are prepared to be leaders and media entrepreneurs.  Our graduates excel at jobs in online media, television, magazines, newspapers, and any career that values ethical, credible communication skills and leadership.

Careers are available in broadcast and multimedia reporting, writing, editing and producing, including photojournalism, video journalism, social media, web and publication design, media innovation and entrepreneurship, and news management.
