School of Journalism

The UA School of Journalism will honor New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet with the 2017 Zenger Award for Press Freedom for championing the news media’s rights to question authority and for defending the public’s right to know. Get tickets HERE for the Oct. 20 dinner.

Eleven student reporters roamed the campus during the school's 2017 Journalism Diversity Workshop for Arizona High School Students. The workshop covers reporting and writing basics, media ethics, broadcast and multimedia journalism, design and editing, and different storytelling techniques.

Ten students from the school's U.S.-Mexico border reporting class produced a multimedia project, "Bordering 110°," comparing the Nogales area with towns in Montana and Alberta. Students used drones, 360° video and audio to enhance the project, with help from Profs. Celeste Bustamante and Mike McKisson.
