Journalism Minor
Journalism practices and the media landscape regularly undergo major changes. Despite
radical transformations, writing and researching skills remain the two core skills
required to create excellent journalism. That is why they are at the heart of McKendree’s
journalism minor.
Throughout your journey, you'll develop a strong understanding of communication theory,
media ethics, and the legal issues that arise when covering the news. You'll also
receive solid training in media design.
