Journalism Program

The Journalism Program offers a wide array of courses in reporting and writing, media analysis and production, and the history and global context of journalism in the 21st century. The Program also offers workshops that concentrate on student writing and editing, as well as courses that address the legal and ethical issues confronting journalists today.

Founded forty years ago as part of English, the Program in 2006 became the first department at a SUNY research university to offer a B.A. in Journalism. Since then the Program has grown into a lively community of journalists, producers, photographers, bloggers, and other people interested in writing and reporting the news.
