Regardless of the medium, it is more important than ever before for journalists to be equipped with the skills to take their own photos, shoot their own videos, and write compelling stories. Concordia’s integrated approach to multimedia journalism will teach you the skills you need to succeed.

Learn from professors who have made a name for themselves in print and video — some of whom still work full time for the local media.
