This Just In: Exploring Broadcasting & Journalism

Are you fascinated by the news media? Do you see yourself as an investigative journalist, a TV reporter who asks the hard-hitting questions in interviews, or or a production professional working behind-the-scenes in print, television, or digital news media? This Just In is the Learning Community for you!

You will live in Sandoz Hall with other members of This Just In and the members of the other two learning communities sponsored by the College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Bullseye and Press Box.

You will connect with professors, upperclass students, and alumni working in broadcasting and journalism, and you will visit newspapers and broadcast studios.
