College Diploma - Journalism

Journalists weave words into stories and capture images that matter. Those words and images become part of history’s first draft. Journalists have opportunities to travel, cover exciting events and projects, and meet interesting, diverse people. Journalists can be the voice of a generation.

CNA’s Journalism program is a learning ground for the deadline-driven, adaptable and observant. At CNC, students will train to deliver the news in a variety of media and gain the skills employers want. Students will learn how to dig for the story, interview people, shoot video and still images, and describe happenings. Students will work on radio, television and web productions. Training both behind and in front of the camera, students will be immersed in history, politics and current affairs. And students will master research and context to understand the impact of media on the world today.

This program will prepare students for one of the most fascinating, multifaceted and satisfying careers in the world.
