Those skills will serve students well in whatever career they choose. Therefore, the introductory course to news writing and reporting is an excellent foundation writing course. The mission of Concordia's journalism program is rooted in the college's mission. Our charge is to educate thoughtful and well-informed future journalists. Graduates are grounded in the basics of writing, reporting, and editing.
Ethics is a part of every course.
All of this is within the framework of a liberal arts education, in an English Department, where journalistic writing is seen as part of the continuum of literature. We view journalism as a calling.
