Journalism is currently undergoing a digital shift (Internet, mobile and tablet technology, data journalism), driving change in journalistic practice and forcing practitioners to develop new skills techniques and approaches. Today's journalists need to fill a diversity of roles, requiring not only a good understanding of emerging social trends, but also specialized expertise and knowledge. 

With this program, students (future digital journalists) will better understand the challenges related to journalism in the Digital Age, in order to help them enter the fast-changing media industry. Upon graduation, students will be qualified for an exciting career as a journalist, researcher, presenter, media analyst, producer, etc.

The Department of Communication offers the Honours Bachelor in Digital Journalism jointly with Algonquin College (in English), with La Cité (in French), and with the CÉGEP de Jonquière (in French). Courses at the Department of Communication will provide theoretical, analytical and critical foundations, while courses at the College will focus on practical training. Combining both theory and practice, this training is bound to give students a head start.
