Journalism and Media Production students may communicate to large, broad-based audiences through news publications, public relations firms and blog sites. Our programs combine writing and visuals to produce traditional video programs, interactive media, mobile and social media, and technical documents in print and online formats.
Career possibilities are diverse, but usually involve some form of technology. Whether creating a message for a mobile device, a website, an online training program, or a streaming video, audience identification is paramount. Knowledge and skills learned in JMP-based classes allow technical communicators to work in many industries: corporate, government, education, broadcast, and nonprofit.
