Classes are appropriate for any student wishing to improve his or her abilities to communicate with a mass audience. Ethical and legal standards are examined and emphasized. Majors in the field participate in preparing news stories for transmission on a variety of media platforms. Majors also participate in regional and state conferences of the Journalism Association of Community Colleges, the largest organization of its kind in the United States.
