Combine your love for art, video and reporting with Concordia’s interdisciplinary program in multimedia journalism.

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.

Investigating and Narrating the News

Erin Hemme Froslie

Investigating and Narrating the News taught me what written journalism with other media looks like. I enjoyed writing my own long-form news story along with getting media-like pictures and audio for it. The class incorporated concepts from other journalism classes to create a full news story. My biggest takeaway was that journalism can be creative while also bringing truth and fact to the public.
