Journalism

Collection Area

Journalism and all aspects of the Newspaper industry.

General Purpose

To support the Journalism course offered each Spring Term. At this time, the selector makes sures that whatever resources the instructor wants for the course are made available. The current instructor takes a more practical approach rather than a theoretical one. Therefore, we do not select how-to-write books for Journalism at this time. We select books that look at the history of the discipline and other resources such as documentary films.

There is no program at this time for Journalism. The English Department offers one couse every Spring Term. Women & Gender Studies Program had previously offered a course every other academic year.
