Commitment to Journalism
Journalism is a field that values individuals who are curious,
well read, enthusiastic and creative, and who have demonstrated
initiative in their work and studies. We seek highly motivated
students with a passion for the field and a keen interest in what
is happening around them. This may be reflected by outstanding
prior work in journalism, or by describing clearly what motivates
him/her to a career in journalism.
Writing Skills
We expect journalists to be sensitive to language and to organize
their thoughts clearly and coherently. Fair command of the
English language is a must.
