Overview

During this Broadcast and Digital Journalism programme at Syracuse University, you will learn how to produce news content accurately for multiple platforms under tight deadlines. This experiential education takes place in a digital newsroom many working journalists would admire.

The Newhouse School believes the pillars of journalism excellence rest in the principles of democracy and citizenship. The broadcast and digital journalism programme gives you access to the technology, ideas and skills you need to fulfill one of the most pivotal roles of a free press in a modern democratic society: to help citizens sort fact from fiction in order to make sound decisions about their lives and communities.

What Real-Life Experiences Will I Have in the Broadcast and Digital Journalism Master’s Programme?

You will be industry-ready upon graduating from the broadcast and digital journalism master’s programme. Classwork will immerse you in the workings of a real newsroom environment, producing full newscasts under the same real-world deadlines faced by working professionals. You will learn all aspects of newscast production, from coming up with story ideas and scheduling shoots to conducting interviews and completing both a broadcast and digital version of your story. You will learn the inner workings of the control room and what it takes to become the coordinating producer of a live news programme. You will learn from faculty who still work in the field. Your professors and instructors have a wealth of industry experience and will teach you how to work as a productive member of a news team in a variety of job roles.
