Introduction

The Department of Journalism and Media Management offers majors in Broadcast Journalism, Electronic Media, Journalism and Media Management and minors in Broadcast Journalism, Electronic Media, Hispanic Media, Journalism and Media Management.

The Department of Journalism and Media Management emphasizes hands-on learning and critical thinking within a multicultural, international context. Our students consistently win regional and national awards, and obtain prestigious internships and long-term positions in a competitive media marketplace. Additionally, they are meeting the challenges of the evolving media industry through entrepreneurial leadership.  Our graduates also gain admission to excellent graduate programs and professional schools in a variety of fields.

Four majors and five minors are offered in the Department of Journalism and Media Management. The department's programs attract students interested in working in these specific fields, but also provide strong writing, creative, and analytical skills to students who pursue careers in other fields, such as law and business. 

The School of Communication’s Electronic Media and Broadcast Journalism majors are designed for students who intend to pursue professional work in electronic news, production operations and allied fields. 

Students majoring or minoring in these subjects study all aspects of television, radio, cable, broadband, digital and mobile operations. All Broadcast Journalism and Electronic Media students are encouraged to become involved in UMTV (the campus cable television channel available to the community, the UM campus and over the web) and the student-run radio station, WVUM-FM, serving South Florida.

The School's Media Management major is designed for students interested in the business and management aspects of contemporary media. Students may pursue interests in entrepreneurship, sales, management, technology and research, among other topics. Students are encouraged to network with industry professionals at Media Management Association meetings and expand their knowledge of media business operations on various platforms through local and national internships. 

The School's major in Journalism prepares students to be writers, editors and designers for a variety of media from mainstream and alternative newspapers and magazines to online media and entrepreneurial ventures. We emphasize effective storytelling through writing, audio and video recording, photography, graphics and data visualization. Reporting skills, analytical thinking and journalistic ethics are stressed throughout the program. Students are encouraged to work for The Miami Hurricane, the student-run newspaper, Distraction magazine and the Ibis yearbook, all of which are nationally award-winning publications.  The robust South Florida media market also provides off-campus opportunities at various professional publications and websites. 

Students majoring in Journalism may concentrate their studies in one of several tracks or areas or they may customize their course of study. The suggested tracks include: Reporting and Writing (which is the general journalism or custom track); Media and Journalism Studies (a more conceptual and less applied track for students interested in media analysis); Visual and Documentary Journalism (which allows for the study of photography, web design and videography or documentaries); and Sports, Travel and Lifestyle Features (which focuses on these as related areas of content). These tracks allow students the flexibility to design programmatic concentrations in everything from writing to web design to documentary and visual storytelling. 

The School's facilities include a state-of-the-art radio studio, two high-definition television studios, digital post-production suites and related capabilities.
