Journalism Department

Has journalism died?

Journalism—as we knew it in the 20th century—is fading fast from the scene. As the information marketplace changes, many traditional, single-skilled journalists are losing their mass media jobs. Meanwhile, the demand is skyrocketing for multi-skilled storytellers who can manage information and tell stories across multiple media platforms. Regent University is on the leading edge of preparing students to become multiskilled journalists who are equipped to compete and meet the media job market demands in the 21st century.

Today's journalist must be a master storyteller, able to translate compelling stories across video, text and interactive media platforms. Many of the traditional storytelling skills of the 20th century remain relevant, yet the methods of delivery are changing. Our programs emphasize learning the latest knowledge and skills in multimedia feature writing, broadcast and video production, interactive web-based communications and media management. Your experiences at Regent University will stretch your knowledge and experiences into emerging skill areas. Throughout your time at Regent, you will be challenged to make a positive impact in your field by standing in the intersection of faith and craft.

Your new career begins the moment you become a student at Regent; don't wait until you graduate! You will receive tangible hands-on experience and coaching with the latest hardware and software to help you develop your professional portfolio and prepare for leadership. Whether you enroll for courses on campus or online, you will enjoy the experience of interacting and networking with accomplished industry professionals who are on the leading edge of the media environment. Job opportunities are opening every day for people such as you who have the desire, calling and skills to tell compelling stories through emerging media. Engage your future today at Regent University.

Sincerely,
