Why study Journalism?
Journalists are in the unique position of interpreting the political, social, economic, and cultural events that affect all members of society. Few careers demand a more varied body of knowledge than does journalism and the program at EWU recognizes that the profession is both a discipline of its own and a fusion of many different courses of study.
Learning Goals
Write in both report and feature story forms
Understand local government and the public policy process
Be a critical and analytical observer of the American public policy process
Observe and write efficiently and clearly about public events and public issues
Writing and Internship Opportunities
The Easterner newspaper is published weekly by a staff made up entirely of students, who work as reporters, editors, copy editors, photojournalists, and web designers. Additionally, the journalism professors help connect students with Spokane news outlets, public relations agencies, advertising firms, and other organizations looking for interns.
