Study news-ed! Get a job!
If you study news-editorial journalism at UNL, you're going to learn how to write, report, edit, take pictures and design graphics for newspapers and magazines - and you'll learn how to transfer those skills to online and new media publications.
Here's how and why it works:
- Classes are hands-on. We don't just teach you about journalism. We teach you how to do journalism.
- That includes one semester working on the college's lab newspaper, Redweek, and one semester on NewsNetNebraska, the college's online publication.
- Our faculty all have a lot of professional experience. They know journalism up close and personally.
- News-ed graduates get jobs at newspapers, magazines and online publications.
- We help you get a summer internship that will give you three solid months of practical experience at papers large and small, in Nebraska and across the nation.
- Our students regularly place among the top 10 in the national Hearst writing competition and photo competition, and many take top honors in the Society of Professional Journalists and Professional News Photographers' contests.
