Good journalism and the technical skills to get it done

I left university and was craving hands-on skills-based training. I elected to enroll in the journalism program at Loyalist. My two years at Loyalist were incredibly rich and rewarding. I was fortunate to study under stellar professionals who were committed to teaching the fundamentals of good journalism and the technical skills to get it done.
One of the benefits of the journalism program at Loyalist was the focus on staying abreast with changes in the industry, which was balanced with practical skills development and a genuine commitment to ensuring students were given the tools to succeed after graduation. I was there from 1996-1998, at that time, the faculty was actively incorporating citizen journalism and online news delivery into the program. As a graduate, I'm proud to see this progressive approach still in practice at the College.
