Journalism is a profession that incorporates knowledge from various disciplines, as well as critical thinking and practical application skills. At the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, the curriculum is blended with a strong liberal arts foundation with professional skills courses.
A basic philosophy of the program is that students need media experience while working toward their degrees. Experience is available on a laboratory magazine, Southeast Ohio; on a community Web site, ATHENSi.com; and on a daily laboratory news broadcast, Athens MidDay.
Many students add to their experience by writing for and editing The Post, the independent daily campus newspaper; the Athena, the University yearbook; The Ohio Journalist, the school’s alumni publication; or for WOUB News, broadcasting on the university’s public broadcast stations (AM, FM, television and cable). Students also work on the staffs of local newspapers and University publications.
New technology is an important element within any journalism career. The E. W. Scripps School of Journalism is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and provides courses and practical experience to aid students in developing the skills required to adapt to the new age of journalism.
Consistent with its policy of combining classwork with practical training, the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism requires each student to complete an adviser-approved internship. Interns are provided with varied hands-on experiences in media-related organizations. Internship opportunities are located throughout the nation and abroad. Scripps Notes, the school’s weekly publication and the college’s internship office provides information about various internship opportunities available to journalism students.
The E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and Ohio University offer incoming freshman a wide variety of learning communities, each with its own set of specialized offerings. The Scripps College of Communication Residential Learning Community is unique because communication students take their first-quarter classes together as well as living in the same residence hall on the East Green.
The Journalism School has many student organizations to become involved with: the Ohio University Advertising Association, Association for Women in Communications, Black Student Communication Caucus, Public Relations Student Society of America, Radio-Television Digital News Association, Society of Professional Journalists and Students for Global Media and Diversity.
There are also on-campus opportunities for students to get involved in for hands-on experience: ACRN, the Athena, the Athens Messenger, Athens MidDay, the Ohio Journalist, the Post, The Sales Centre, Southeast Ohio, SpeakEasyMag.com, Thread Magazine, and the WOUB Center for Public Media.
The E.W. Scripps School of Journalism is one of Ohio University’s signature programs, ranking among the top journalism schools in the United States. The JSchool offers six undergraduate sequences:
