Journalism
Journalism Student Resources
No practice is more in keeping with the liberal arts than journalism. A liberal arts education requires students to become astute and critical readers, clear and effective writers, and curious and expansive thinkers; it teaches students how to solve problems by learning how to think about those problems from multiple angles.
These are precisely the skills that animate journalism. Journalists must be open to the world in all its complexity. They must be able to learn new things quickly by asking the right questions, and to be able to explain those things clearly for an audience that needs to know. In these ways, a liberal arts education is a cornerstone of good journalism.
