Multimedia journalism majors put theory into practice as part of the Pulliam School of Journalism’s DNA.
TheStatehouseFile.com is a semester-long opportunity for students to use skills developed in the classroom for the real world to see.

We use the daily practice of covering stories from the Statehouse to develop skills that every reporter uses on a daily basis, no matter what the focus. Students will be guided through the process of deciding: what makes a story important and to whom, who needs to be heard in the story and why, what quotes speak to the story best, how to develop and write news stories ethically and accurately,
