Broadcast Journalism
Department Website:
The Broadcast Journalism minor provides students with the worldview and skills necessary for creative and responsible work in the television and radio industries. Digital Media majors and minors learn to emphasize work that makes a positive difference in their communities and the broader world.
To master their technical skills, students put on a series of live shows that air on GUTV and are posted on its YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/GUTVondemand). Students engage in all aspects of the creation and production of these shows, including on-air roles, camera work, directing, mixing audio, using field cameras and non-linear editing.
Internships in broadcasting-centric workplaces allow students to transfer knowledge and experience acquired in classes to the professional world. Each semester, Spokane-area television and radio news organizations invite our students to work alongside professionals in a range of appropriate roles. University credits are available for internships.
