Digital Journalism

Digital Journalism

In the past few years, journalism has undergone a major transformation. Journalism is now mediated by digital technologies, leading to new practices, business models, and journalistic norms. Specific skills for digital journalism include data journalism, solutions journalism, and strategic digital communications. Today鈥檚 journalists need to fill diverse roles, requiring not only an agile understanding of emerging social trends but also specialized expertise.

Students enrolled in this program will gain insight into journalism-related challenges in the digital age prior to entering the fast-changing media industry. The Department of Communication offers an Honours Bachelor in Digital Journalism jointly with:

  • Algonquin College (in English);
  • La Cit茅 (in French);
  • and CEGEP de Jonqui猫re (in French).

Combining both theory and practice, this program will give you a key competitive advantage.

There are four ways to fulfill the degree requirements.

Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive both a university degree and a college diploma.
