About this Program
“News is what someone wants suppressed. Everything else is advertising. The power is to set the agenda. What we print and what we don’t print matter a lot.”
— Katharine Graham
Program Overview
The journalism minor is designed for noncommunication arts majors who may wish to write in their specialties for general audiences, or for those with an interest in journalism for whom a double major with communication arts is not feasible.
