Journalism

Journalism education at Marietta combines challenging classes with extensive opportunities to write and report for campus media. The curriculum is writing-intensive, with much emphasis placed on editing as part of learning to write well. Marietta journalism students are taught to write and report in print and broadcast formats, preparing them for today's rapidly changing field of communications.

Journalism students don't just learn to perform professional tasks. Courses in ethics and research, plus a battery of carefully selected liberal arts courses, teach students to think critically, develop leadership skills, and understand the social, economic and political forces which affect people's lives.

The student newspaper, The Marcolian, welcomes freshmen to join its staff, where they can develop skills in writing, reporting, page design, photography, advertising layout and sales. The Marcolian consistently wins national awards for news coverage, editorials, design, and overall excellence. Among its most recent honors were Outstanding College Newspaper for 1995 from the American

Scholastic Press Association, and selection of the 1995-96 editor as Outstanding Student Journalist in the nation by the Society for Collegiate Journalists. During 1998-99, The Marcolian won several national awards including 1st place in Editorial page and 1st place in on-line newspaper.

The Marcolian staff uses the latest technology to produce the weekly paper, including advanced Macintosh computers, a negative scanner for photography.

Journalism students can be part of the news staff on WMRT-FM and WCMO-TV7. Some students choose to work for all three campus media.

Journalism students must complete a professional internship, and Marietta alumni have been most helpful in assisting students with internship opportunities.
