Journalism is in the middle of a revolution.  There are new ways of telling stories, new outlets for telling them, even arguments over the basic question: “What is a journalist?”

The courses and programs in the School of Journalism at the University of King’s College will prepare you to take part in this revolution, as a daily news reporter, multimedia storyteller, or a trained citizen observer.

The basic “Five W’s” of reporting is just the start. At the King’s School of Journalism, you will learn by doing and discussion, study and production. You will develop skills that will help you to become a better citizen and to succeed in whatever path you choose.

You will learn to be a reporter by reporting: Most student work is distributed in print and on the air around Halifax, and online around the world.

The job of a daily news reporter is just one of many ways you can use your journalism degree. Our alumni produce popular science programs, are editors of sports and outdoors magazines, are entertainment reporters, publishers and producers, filmmakers and web specialists. Then there are those who take the skills they learn at journalism school in new directions, such as fiction, law, public relations, even diplomacy and politics.

Our School of Journalism develops skills that help its graduates succeed, and succeed down whatever path they choose. An understanding of the art, craft and ethics of journalism means that you are not just able to work as a journalist; you’re also better prepared for any career that calls for you to write and speak well, interview people, research topics and puzzle things out.

King's emphasizes good teaching and close contact between students and teaching staff. Our faculty are experienced professionals. They serve not only as teachers but also as editors, producers and mentors—vetting and critiquing the many stories students produce.

Graduates of the King's J-school, from the one-year, four-year and graduate programs, learn technology and technique, but most importantly they learn how to think like journalists: to ask questions that get answered, to use the concrete to illuminate the abstract, to see the world in terms of stories, and to tell those stories clearly and well.
