Overview

Diploma - Journalism

21st-century journalists work in an ever-changing global media landscape. 

They're tech-savvy storytellers who find and report the news using sounds, images and words, seamlessly weaving these elements together for various platforms: 

websites, social media, newspapers, magazines, radio and television. 

This program will help prepare you for this new media world.

As a Sheridan Journalism student, you'll learn from the best. 

The award-winning and forward-thinking professors are drawn from Canada's busiest and most progressive newsrooms. 

They'll guide you through a cutting-edge digital curriculum that emphasizes: 

reporting, writing and editing, social media branding, research techniques, story pitching, web and print design, and data journalism.

You'll work in the state-of-the-art Avid, HD-TV news studio, broadcasting live college-wide and streaming online. 

You'll also write news, shoot photos, and create videos and interactive features for the Sheridan Sun website, tablet app and Sheridan Sun TV. 

In your final semester, you'll apply what you've learned in a field placement at a Canadian broadcaster, website, newspaper or magazine.
