Communication: Journalism

University of Washington

Journalism is at the heart of this program. All individuals working in the public interest—including public relations professionals—should possess skills that reflect the classic journalistic values of accuracy, fairness, ethical decision making, engaging storytelling, and the ability to get to and present verifiable fact. We are a program for students who intend to work in support of a democratic and equitable society, whether in traditional journalism settings, or in communication positions in, for example, non-profit, education, public health, and government agency settings across the United States and the globe. The need for journalistic skills employed in service of truth-telling has never been more critical. This program is for students who want to make a difference through journalism wherever journalism needs to happen. The JPIC program, which is an undergraduate option within the Department of Communication, trains students in the production of engaging, rigorously reported storytelling to help communities of all kinds discern truth from misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda.
