Policy Journalism and Media Studies
Professor Hamilton, Co-Director; Lecturer Rogerson, Co-Director
A certificate, but not a major, is available in this program.
The DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy offers an interdisciplinary certificate in policy
journalism and media studies, which helps to prepare students for careers in media policy, journalism, and
associated professions in the rapidly shifting arena of global communications. Courses for the certificate focus on
educating students about the institutional, economic, and political complexities of media policies worldwide through
the study of the interaction between the key players in media policymaking, journalism, media-concerned nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and academics specializing in media studies. Students will research
contemporary media policy-making and its impact on the practice of journalism in order to learn about the broad
political dynamics which condition both United States’ and international media policy, past and present. Students
will also examine conceptions of media, media policy, and journalism in a global market, as well as the current
educational challenges confronting journalists whose knowledge needs to be increasingly specialized in order to
explain complex global situations to their audiences.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The Policy Journalism and Media Studies Certificate is open to all undergraduates. Candidates must complete
the prescribed combination of six courses, at least four at the 100 level or above. The six courses must include: three
core courses, two of which must be the capstone course, Public Policy Studies 202 (Policy Journalism and Media
Studies), and Public Policy Studies 125S (News As Moral Battleground), and a third core course, either Public
Policy Studies 118S, 119S, or 120S, (Television Journalism, Magazine Journalism, or News Writing and
Reporting); as well as three elective courses from the list below. New courses, special topics courses, and
independent study courses may also be approved as elective courses by the program. Each student is also required to
complete an internship in the field prior to taking the capstone course (the internship must be approved before it is
begun). No more than four courses may be in a single department; if students take four Public Policy Studies
courses, the fourth course must be cross-listed with another department. No more than two courses that are counted
toward this certificate may satisfy the requirements of any major, minor, or other certificate program. A minimum of
three courses must be taken by the end of the junior year
Students should register for the Policy Journalism and Media Studies Certificate at the Registrar’s Office (or, if
they are declaring a major for the first time, through the Pre-Major Advising Center) and also see Program CoDirector Ken Rogerson in the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy, room 148, Sanford School of
Public Policy.
