College and University Journalism Education

Abstract

Colleges and universities are the most important source of education for journalists through their curricula and research, influence trends, and practices throughout the journalism industry. By the end of the twentieth century most journalism jobs worldwide required a college degree. Thousands of journalism education programs now exist on six continents, serving thousands of students annually. This professionalization of the journalistic workforce impacts how journalists conceive their roles, how the journalism industry operates, and how journalism is understood and practiced around the world. As journalism as a field undergoes profound shifts, educators are also changing what and how they teach, redefining their mission and purpose.
