About Journalism
Journalism tells stories about people, places and things. It records history as it is happening, and amplifies the voices and experiences of all community members, not just the establishment voices, often framing issues in the interest of justice and civil discourse. If storytelling is your passion, consider pursuing DePauw’s Journalism minor.
When you embark on the Journalism minor, you will take focused coursework in reporting, news writing, and multimedia news gathering within a strong liberal arts framework designed to broaden your understanding of contemporary issues and the social, political, and historical contexts that shape them. This coursework is combined with applied cocurricular and internship opportunities that enable you to hone your craft and build a portfolio of work across print, radio, television, and multimedia journalism.
The Journalism minor is appropriate for students in any major. Every discipline – whether in the sciences, arts, humanities, or social sciences – needs people who can report on, contextualize and explain complex ideas for a general public in need of information.
I learned how to talk to people, how to explore ideas. And that’s been at the center of everything I’ve done since.
