Journalists operate across diverse media platforms and sectors. They apply strategic communication skills in fields like advertising, PR, marketing, healthcare, politics, gaming, and entertainment. These professionals cover news and information in our fast-growing digital media landscape. With nearly every business, institution, and organization needing communication experts, career opportunities in this field are virtually limitless. Iowa's School of Journalism and Mass Communication holds accreditation from the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications.
Beyond journalism education, the program mandates that students complete significant coursework in another academic discipline, enhancing their professional capabilities and expanding career prospects. During their studies, students can acquire hands-on experience at the Daily Iowan - ranked among the nation's top five collegiate newspapers - or through Daily Iowan TV (DITV), which broadcasts news programming six days weekly.
