Among six disciplines in CSUN’s Mike Curb College of Arts, Media and Communication, the Department of Journalism is nationally accredited. Students contribute vital transformative voices and perspectives to storytelling in a range of mediums.
The program cultivates knowledge, objectivity, and principled approaches in digital and broadcast journalism, public relations, and allied professions in the evolving media landscape with experiential emphasis on social justice concerns among vulnerable populations and engaging diverse communities.
Journalism’s groundbreaking interdisciplinary minor in Spanish-language media features an award-winning bilingual digital publication, El Nuevo Sol – one of six student-run outlets in addition to Agency 398, its own PR firm.
In 2023-2024, we awarded four scholarships to deserving under-served Journalism students in addition to funding a student reporting trip to Uvalde,Texas, in January 2024.The student-produced stories and photos appeared in a special edition of the Daily Sundial in May 2024 and were posted online. Plans are underway for on-campus screening this fall of a documentary that was filmed and produced by one of the students who went on the trip.
