Through Master's degree

While some Master of Journalism programs are focused on the academic study of journalism, most are geared towards providing students with journalism skills. Students are usually required to take courses on writing and reporting as well as media law and ethics. Many programs have an internship or co-op component in which students will complete a placement at a working newsroom, magazine office, or other media production outlet. Some programs allow students to specialize in a particular type of journalism, such as broadcast journalism, newspapers, magazines, or online journalism.
