Journalism at Asbury College
How We Do It
To say journalism has a bad name in the early twenty-first century is to put the matter kindly. And those who are most outraged want something done about it. Asbury College's Journalism Program wants to be part of the solution. You can be part of it as well. By means of rigorous study and disciplined practice - guided by a sense God's call - future journalists and print media specialists at Asbury College prepare to play crucial roles in newsrooms and print media workplaces that have too often forgotten the role God intended for Himself with those he created. Good journalism is hard to do. But the hunger for truth and meaning in today's marketplace of ideas demands we pursue excellence as perhaps never before in our nation's history. Too many stories are being left untold for us to give up the fight now.
Today at Asbury College
Journalism students at Asbury College learn ways of telling better stories because journalism has been a storytelling venture since long before the invention of the printing press. Asbury College students' journalistic foundation gives them a professionally-oriented grasp of journalistic approaches to narrative, photos, text-and-graphics combinations, and the digital messages that combine text, graphics, photos and the best of audio and video. But most importantly, they learn these concepts and skills with the awareness of God's power in shaping all of life - including the structures of journalism over time.
