Mass Media
The terms “journalism” and “mass communications” are
umbrellas that span many career fields and interests. Students
taking mass media classes often combine majors or minors in
other fields to expand their career possibilities. Students are
encouraged to take a broad base of general liberal arts courses
that blend with the fundamental technical courses of media
writing, editing, photography, broadcasting, and desktop
publishing.
LCCC’s mass media curriculum provides the basic
requirements for a variety of specialized areas offered at fouryear
institutions. Students are encouraged to experiment in
both print and broadcast journalism. Print journalism provides
a strong background in reporting and newswriting, desktop
publishing, and photography using the latest equipment. The
campus newspaper, Wingspan, and literary-arts magazine, High
Plains Register, are produced entirely on campus by students,
using their own fully equipped desktop publishing computer
lab. Photographers enjoy the use of a film-processing
darkroom and print lab. For additional experience, college
cooperative work experience credit is offered for internships
with local media outlets, advertising/public relations firms,
nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
Nonmajors can benefit from journalism classes,
especially Introduction to Mass Media, Photography, Desktop
Publishing, and Publications Production.
Because of the numerous directions students can take
in the field of mass communications, they are urged to work
closely with their advisor in outlining a course of study that
will meet their needs in obtaining a job or in transferring to a
four-year institution.
