Communications And Theatre ' ' The »CHx5oi or uommuni- tions and Theatre is divid- t into three major pro- grams: Journalism, Radio-Television-Film and Theatre. The greatest number of Journalism majors are found in the News-Editorial and Advertising sequences. News-Editorial, the oldest and best known program, places a strong emphasis on writing, editing and report- ing skills. Advertising, the most recently expanded pro- gram, is regarded by many professionals as one of the finest opportunities in the ' field because of the training in traditional values that Temples ' program offers. Magazine and Broadcast Journalism students find a Temple education valuable in seeking employment in those highly competitive laarkets.
