• From Sequence (quarters) to Track (semesters)

When Ohio University switches to semesters in 2012, students who would have selected the news writing and editing sequence in the quarter system will be in the News and Information track. Students in this track can select courses that focus specifically on reporting and editing news, but they also have the option of choosing a wider array of courses (e.g., broadcast news, online journalism, magazine journalism, etc.) to more broadly prepare for the changing industry.

Students with a strong news writing and editing interest prepare for the new digital world of electronic journalism with hands-on courses, working on campus and local media such as The Post, the Athens News and the Athens Messenger, as well as through internships. Students can begin volunteering at The Post and other local newspapers as early as their freshman year,

Students intern with news organizations throughout the region as well as with national and even international media outlets. Students also gain exposure to issues in the field through participation in organizations such as the Society of Professional Journalists.
