Journalism

Loyola University New Orleans' journalism sequence is designed to educate students in the "how" and the "why" of the work of journalists. Students will learn basic skills, including question-asking, analysis of information, newswriting and reporting. They will also come to know and understand how American journalism has developed, the meaning of press freedom in the United States, and the social, political and ethical responsibilities they will have as journalists.
