Journalism
Overview
Journalism is a career and a calling. We serve the public interest by gathering news and telling stories across media—using words, photos, videos, graphics, sound and more. That’s why our program is experiential, giving students hands-on training to develop the skills needed to succeed in a variety of positions and industries.
Our students write travel stories through study-abroad classes in Prague and Copenhagen and they run television news shows in our broadcast studio. They produce podcasts. They create multimedia content for our laboratory news website, Grady Newsource, and for a community newspaper that our program operates, The Oglethorpe Echo. They intern in Atlanta, New York and they work at UGA’s independent student newspaper, The Red & Black.
We have a breadth-and-depth curriculum that teaches foundational skills that all journalists need to know, as well as advanced skills and subjects that students can study based on their interests. We offer classes in video and photo journalism, digital design, feature writing, sports and social media, media law and ethics and podcasting. Discover ways we educate democracy’s next generation.
Curriculum Overview
Through courses in the Journalism major, students learn to find and tell stories that matter on multiple platforms for a variety of audiences. They develop storytelling skills in audio, visual and written forms. They learn what makes a story important, how to gather credible information and how to present it in the most effective way while balancing the ethical and legal needs of news organizations and audiences.

For more information about the Sports Media Certificate and up-to-date information on how to apply for the program, please visit sportsmediainstitute.uga.edu.
Certificate in News Literacy
Clickbait. Deepfakes. Disinformation. Bias. Conspiracies. Hoaxes. The media, especially the news media, shapes what individuals know about their community and the world, and being literate about the information they receive is essential to making good decisions. There is no better time to learn how to navigate the news, as disinformation isn’t going anywhere. Our democratic society needs as many people as possible — citizens as much as journalists, educators, and other professionals — to wade into the digital world equipped with concepts and tools to help them recognize the difference between truth and falsehoods.
Research
Above Grady’s door is the slogan, “Democracy’s Next Generation.” Key to this mission is the role of journalism. Grady’s journalism scholars study public opinion, journalism history, media law, media management and international journalism.
Research Spotlight
The Digital Media Attention and Cognition Lab
Founded in 2014, the Digital Media Attention and Cognition (DMAC) Lab is focused on studying how people view, understand, and form impressions of digital media. We are housed in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia.
Qualitative Research Lab
Founded in Spring 2022, the Qualitative Research Lab, directed by Dr. Karin Assmann, an assistant professor in the Journalism Department, has the software needed for students, both undergraduate and graduate, to conduct qualitative research, which involves analyzing texts, video and audio. Under Dr. Assmann, the lab also provides a space for student researchers to interact and brainstorm with their peers. The Qualitative research lab is located in room 252.

Perspectives
You’ll never go anywhere if you don’t work to get involved. I’ve been blessed to have awesome classes and professors, but my experience working with The Red & Black, the Oglethorpe Echo, and job shadowing at 13WMAZ have been the most beneficial experiences for me. Just classes won’t get you to where you want to be, so look to achieve more than just that.
