Journalism
The Journalism Department is responsible for the production of the COS student-run newspaper, The Campus. Students interested in journalism can gain invaluable experience — seldom offered to students in their first two years at a four-year college — in all areas of newspaper production, from news and editorial writing, to photojournalism and layout. The journalism computer lab offers students the opportunity to design and print both hard copy and online versions of the newspaper, simulating the production of local and national newspapers. In addition, the courses in “Mass Communication” and “Cultural Issues in Film/TV/Web” also meet a transfer requirement in Area 4 for the CSU and UC transfer.
