The power of the written word drives Journalism majors at Webster University. These students prepare for jobs at newspapers and magazines or to launch a freelance-writing career of their own.
They prepare by doing. Students are taught the reporting, writing and design skills and, during their time here, regularly write for a pair of award-winning publications: The Journal , the weekly campus newspaper, and/or The Ampersand , a biannual magazine/yearbook.
Journalism students are required to learn all genres of newspaper writing and receive a firm grounding in journalism history, media ethics and communications law.
Prior to graduation, most students write for monthly, weekly and daily publications during an internship. A recent list of opportunities includes: The Alton Telegraph , St. Louis Post-Dispatch , Times Newspapers Inc. and the West End Word.
