Journalism

Overview

Vision

The Graduate Program in Journalism at Yeditepe University is an interdisciplinary program which focuses on the institutional and administrative aspects of journalism, applying different perspectives, techniques and methods taken from other diciplines. Furthermore, the graduate program integrates the profession of journalism to recent praxis in the field, considering technological developments, convergence, new media and digital media concepts. Although this program is of an interdisciplinary character, it is not an alternative to or supplement of another discipline.

Mission

The goal of the Graduate Program in Journalism is to help both professionals that work in the media sector and candidates of media administration that graduated from the departments of communication, media and law etc. To obtain enough skills and tools to enable themselves to understand legal, ethical, technological, economic and political dimensions of media administration, all of which are growing more complex at an increasing rate.Students who will graduate from our program will be capable of understanding the basis of the media’s economic structure and marketing of media products, will acknowledge the process and problems of production and will make efficient use of human resources profiles and financial sources of the media establishment. Furthermore, they will be capable of working responsibly in the digital platforms. Through the program students will become skilful in the applications of digital journalism, and become journalists/managers with a vision.
