IUP Journalism Department Students interested in a career in the news-editorial or public relations fields, with opportunities in such related areas as magazines, advertising, visual journalism, online journalism, <strong>and</strong> marketing, should enjoy this innovative, flexible program. The journalism major combines journalism elective courses, the student’s choice <strong>of</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> courses from other university departments, plus internships that provide on-the-job experience. The IUP journalism major is flexible for the individual student, who decides, with an advisor, what directions his or her education will take for a mass communications career.

JRNL 427 Publications This course, developed in the 1990s, serves as a sequel to JRNL 327 Layout, Design <strong>and</strong> Production. Students, already pr<strong>of</strong>icient in Adobe InDesign from the prerequisite course, work together to produce a magazine in both its print <strong>and</strong> online version. Assuming various roles such as managing editor, computer storage manager, photography director, art director, web design coordinator, print design coordinator, home page designer, table <strong>of</strong> contents designers for web <strong>and</strong> print, audio <strong>and</strong> video editor, nameplate designer <strong>and</strong> cover designer, the students learn to work together as a team to produce both magazines on deadline. Previous semesters have used themes such as spring break, college food, writing opportunities <strong>and</strong> advice for future IUP journalism majors. Some <strong>of</strong> these publications can be found by going to the department’s home page (www.iup.edu/journalism) <strong>and</strong> clicking on the Publications link.
