set and maintained to help students prepare for
the long hours and demanding
work schedules they face in radio, television and online newsrooms around the
world.

&
In 2004, its first year of existence...our new Audio-Video
Streaming class of second semester
broadcast news students began a new and proud reputation when
SJSU
ONLINE NEWS won BEST
NEWSCAST
Advanced broadcast journalism
students researched, produced, and aired a half-hour audio program
focused
on student lack of interest and knowledge pf the issues in
the 2004 presidential election. Students figured
out the story angles and aggressively looked for creative
ways to make their point.
You are taught here to always
open your mind to new and creative career possibilities...
and be confident you CAN compete if you applied
yourself at SJSU and learned how to
adapt and meet tough challenges, tight deadlines, and high
expectations.
REMEMBER:
There are
NO guarantees students will get a job in media after
graduation. Getting a degree
is essential, but never enough. Letter grades are important
in school, but ...

Media employers want to know...

At San Jose State, we
continue to focus on current issues, professional needs and
expectations.
