The role of communication in todayls world is a vital one. The mass media as studied in the Journalism courses I and II provide, besides prac- tical experiences, an understanding of the past, present, and future of com- munication. Through journalism, students gain experience in business, advertising, news, and feature writing, and learn other practical skills. The main goal, however, is to acquaint students with techniques of pro- ducing mass media. This is done directly through publication of the year- book and newspaper in which students participate. Writing, layout, adver- tising, and all other skills that must be used are furthered through experience and enhanced through education.
