In the 2009-10 academic year, the J-School will be celebrating 100 years of journalism education at MSU. The first class was in the Agriculture College. We formally became a School of Journalism in 1929-30.
We will be celebrating throughout that year with lectures, visits by alumni, a special homecoming celebration, and a dedicated effort to raise our endowments to support students, faculty research efforts (creative, professional and scholarly), training and technology.
Welcome to Journalism@MSU
We call it the J-School. Take some time and explore this web site. It contains gigs of information about the J-School, resources, scholarships, programs, our students and faculty.
Keep up on J-School news and events on this website and on my blog.
Some may think that journalism is in a death spiral with all the coverage of declining newspaper circulation and news broadcast audience share. Nothing could be further from accurate. And accuracy and facts are what journalism is all about. The method of delivery is certainly in flux, but the demand for reliable news and information has never been higher, and the need for quality journalism has never been greater. The future of this nation depends on the press, in all of its various forms, playing its constitutionally protected watchdog role.
Storytelling is now done in a variety of formats using text, photos, video, sound slides, hyperlinks, graphics, maps, databases and more. J-School students are learning these skills and are in high demand as both interns and in the job market after graduation.
We invite you to contact us if you have any questions about the MSU School of Journalism or the many opportunities available to jump start you on a career in media. We can be reached via email at jrn@msu.edu or by telephone at 517-353-6430.
