Do you enjoy uncovering a story? Are you always asking "why"? Our School of Journalism is recognized nationally and is the only Bachelor of Journalism in Western Canada. You will study the history of journalism, media convergence and ownership trends, as well as Aboriginal issues in journalism. Learn newspaper and magazine writing, television and radio news and documentary production, digital editing and desktop and Internet publishing. You will be encouraged to challenge conventional wisdom and develop your own writing style. Students spend a semester on an internship in a radio, television, newspaper, magazine or Internet newsroom.
