Bachelor of Arts in Multiplatform Journalism
Program Overview
Duquesne University's Multiplatform Journalism curriculum prepares students to work as multimedia journalists across a wide variety of platforms, from online news sites to traditional print and broadcast outlets. Today's journalist must be multifaceted. A reporter at an online news outlet might, in a single day, shoot video, produce an audio story and write several iterations of a story for a website and social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Conversely, a reporter at a broadcast station or cable outlet might produce both visual and written versions of a story.
Multiplatform Journalism equips students with the knowledge and skills to produce content for any platform and allows them to seize opportunities as new platforms emerge. In this program, you'll learn to interview, research, report, write, shoot and edit audio and video, create graphics, and master social media.
Students will be able to:
- Understand the importance of news and the role it plays in our civic and political culture.
- Develop the ability to evaluate the newsworthiness of events.
- Study and internalize the public service functions and ethical obligations of journalism.
- Develop and apply a variety of reporting techniques, including interviewing, database research and use of public records.
- Produce multiplatform stories for news, sports, entertainment and various niche genres.
- Learn and practice narrative, video, audio and graphical storytelling techniques that are applicable across a wide variety of platforms, including print, broadcast, web, social media and emerging web-based and mobile platforms.
- Learn within an ethos of adaptability so that, as media platforms and techniques change, students are able to change with them — and possess the theoretical knowledge and practical flexibility to lead that change.
