Graduate Programs: Reporting and Editing

Kent's Reporting and Editing graduate program in JMC is structured to prepare students for careers in newspaper, magazine, broadcast, convergence, or journalism education. It caters to students who want to teach high school journalism or to stay on the content-providing side of the media rather than go into management.

By offering hands-on, engaging courses such as Reporting Public Affairs, Computer Assisted Reporting and Design for Cybermedia, the Reporting and Editing program readies students to be leaders in their chosen field upon graduation.
