OUR PUBLICATIONS
UA journalism students aren't just learning how to put together newspapers - they're doing it.Students handle every phase of production for two publications that are vital sources of news and information for two Arizona communities. By producing real-world newspapers, the students allow their work to be judged by faculty and the public at large. Students also develop critical thinking, research, visual communication and writing skills and learn to deal with the legal and ethical issues that confront professional journalists.
The Tombstone Epitaph and the El Independiente are distributed to specific localities in southern Arizona and are available online.
The Cursor is distributed on campus, mailed to our alumni and also available online.
The Chronicle is mailed to the program's sponsors and made available for the students and their families.

Hispanic.
