圣安东尼奥学院 Announces Updated Journalism Program

To meet the needs of changing times, the journalism program at 圣安东尼奥学院 has merged with the radio/电视/film department to offer a full range of employable skills that will prepare students for 21^st century jobs in journalism and communications.

Students can prepare to transfer to a university for completion of a bachelor’s degree or complete programming in two years or less to qualify for jobs available in the 圣安东尼奥 and South Texas markets. In addition to traditional journalism classes in writing for media, 面试, 特稿写作, 编辑, 布局, 和摄影, students can also study audio/video skills such as video field production and audio 编辑. Furthermore, they can take courses to explore specialties in advertising and public relations.

“We are building on the long history of award-winning journalism at SAC by accessing the outstanding faculty, equipment and facilities of the RTF department,吉姆·达格利什说, SAC’s journalism coordinator. “SAC journalism students have the opportunity to investigate news careers in radio, 电视, print and online newspapers. They can even delve into social media as a news source.”

By learning the basics in writing and 编辑, then adding skills in photography, videography and audio recording, students can be ready to go to work in a short time, 达格利什说. By producing stories for SAC’s online newspaper, 它的广播电台KSYM, and its 电视 station TVSA, students gain experience and build their portfolios. They can also leverage internships with the many TV and radio stations, print newspapers and online publications in the 圣安东尼奥 area.

“圣安东尼奥 is a great market for journalism. Many of the top journalists in this area are SAC alums. They are very supportive of students coming through the SAC program,” 达格利什说. “There are jobs for students who have basic skills and a great portfolio, but many of our students have transferred to some of the top journalism programs at universities in Texas and throughout the United States. It all depends on how ambitious the student wants to be.”
