The Media Fellows Program

A:  The Media Fellows Program at DePauw University combines analytical and critical study with hands-on media work experience. It was developed for students who are planning a career in mass media, as well as those who need to know how the different media operate as an advantage in performing effectively in other careers.

Media Fellows use the Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media as a laboratory in which media theory, analysis and criticism combine with hands-on experiences in radio and television production, plus newspaper, magazine and yearbook publishing. Media Fellows confront ethical issues, learn about the business of media, and gain a practical understanding about the technology involved. 

During their junior year, Media Fellows also take advantage of a semester-long professional media internship, which is shaped to meet the individual interests of students and bring them face-to-face with respected professionals at many premier print and broadcast media organizations.
