Objectifs et capacités de apprenant.es

As the ways we share and digest information and entertainment change, so do the traditional mediums we rely on. But in the evolving world of media and communications, one thing is certain: no matter how it is delivered, content is key. The importance of social media has grown and communications jobs have blossomed. What we are finding now is journalism, corporate communications, photography and graphic production are crossing over more than ever before. Thus, we have developed the next evolution of the program to recognize industry needs.

In this project, a student-writer will create an unbiased well-researched news story and/or an infographic for your organization, focused on online or print media.
