Sustained Excellence
The power of storytelling: The School of Media and Journalism, one of five schools in Kent State’s College of Communication and Information, helps students discover the power of storytelling – the news story, the feature story, the multimedia story, the client’s story and the short film. And in the process, we help students discover their own brand stories: who they are, what unique skills they offer and what they want to do with their professional lives.

Journalism is not often perceived as an emotionally challenging career, but journalists can experience any number of traumatic stress symptoms from stories that they cover, especially those involving death or human suffering. These are the topics Gretchen Hoak, Ph.D., associate professor of journalism, explores in her new podcast “Informed Reporting,” which launched March 16.
Did you know that every student who earns an undergraduate degree from the School of Media and Journalism is required to complete at least one professional internship for credit? It’s not just a box to check.
Kent State Student Media produces seven print magazines spanning fashion, sports, design, culture and campus life. These publications reflect thoughtful reporting and creative work from our students.
The addition of the Ross Tria+ system to the Franklin Hall Studio has served as a turning point in Student Media’s mission to provide a professional and equitable learning environment.
All of MDJ’s undergraduate programs are accredited by ACEJMC.
