Columbus, OH, May 25/Public Relations Group/--The field of Journalism is a very important and vital field for everyone across the world. It is the source of how people are updated and informed about the what is occurring in the world around them. Whether it is regarding political changes, health care, or even weather warnings, journalism is an important element for everyone.
Communication 221 is an introduction class to the field of journalism. It introduces to students the skills and tools necessary to be an efficient journalist. The course covers all spectrums in the field of journalism including print writing, interviewing, research, broadcast reporting, and even how it relates to the public relations.
Dan Caterinicchia is the current instructor for Communications 221. He is a former employee for the esteemed Associated Press and also a former writer for Federal Computer Week magazine. With his accomplished background experience, Caterinicchia teaches students how to become a good journalist. Though most students aren’t necessarily pursuing careers as journalists, Caterinicchia still believes it is important that students become aware of it. “Regardless of what your professional goal is, being a better communicator will serve you well. After taking 221, you will be a more effective communicator, writer, and editor,” Caterinicchia states as he promotes his course.
The field of Journalism isn’t quite the same as it once was. As technology evolves, people aren’t getting all of their news information from the daily newspaper or watching the evening news. Now, people have constant access to news whether through an iPhone, iPad, or iBook. It is important that journalists learn to adapt to these new changes. The field is in a transition period and it is important that students are aware of the changes that are occurring.
After taking this class, students will be more knowledgeable about their news sources and how information spreads through out the world. Caterinicchia will provide the skills necessary for students to determine what is trustworthy and informative. Communication 221 is a course all students should take to understand the vital world of journalism.
