Journalism Learning Outcomes News Judgment: Work demonstrates news judgment that identifies and develops story ideas through observation, reading and paying attention to their environment. Critical and Independent Thinking: Work demonstrates an ability to synthesize information and think independently and work through problems using inference and logic. Cultural Competence: Work demonstrates an understanding of a variety of cultures and how those cultures influence perspectives, attitudes and personal interaction with the world. Writing: Work demonstrates concise, clear, and accurate writing that engages the audience with compelling storytelling. Analytical Competence: Work demonstrates an ability to discern and weigh the quality of information they gather, as well as know how to analyze and interpret it. Research and Reporting: Work demonstrates an ability to methodically find information through personal interviews, public documents and the Internet. Media Literacy: Work demonstrates an ability to competently navigate through a rapidly changing media world, understanding media’s influence on society, community and the democratic process, and that students also understand the power of visual storytelling in shaping society’s understanding of the world. Ethics, Integrity and the Law: Work demonstrates knowledge and practice of ethical standards and constitutional laws that guide journalism excellence. Critical Evaluation: Work demonstrates critical evaluation of their own work and that of others for accuracy and fairness, clarity, appropriate style and grammatical correctness. Data and Numbers: Work demonstrates an ability to apply basic numerical and statistical concepts. Technology: Work demonstrates an ability to know when and how to apply technology in their professional work. Visual Competence: Work demonstrates a technically competent ability to research, find, and capture a concise and compelling story that reflects the gamut of human experience in a variety of formats. To earn the Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, students must complete 43 journalism units. Only ten journalism units may be lower division for print/online majors —JOUR 205 and JOUR 221, JOUR 222 and JOUR 226. Only thirteen units may be lower division for photojournalism majors --JOUR 205 and JOUR 221, JOUR 222, JOUR 226 and JOUR 235, or their equivalents taken elsewhere. Courses numbered 300 and above are not open to freshmen. Upon enrolling in journalism classes, students will be required to use their SF State e-mail accounts. These email addresses will be used as the primary source of communication between students and the department. In order to ensure that every journalism student's education is as rich and varied as possible, the department has established these requirements: 1. A journalism major must complete a minor in one of the areas of study approved by faculty advisors. Students should consult with an academic advisor in journalism to determine the minor that best meets their interests and professional goals. 2. A journalism major must have a minimum of 72 non-journalism units in the 120 minimum overall units required for graduation. Included in these 72 units must be the minor in a single subject area chosen in consultation with the advisor. The 72-unit requirement is consistent with the department's philosophy that a well-rounded education is crucial preparation for journalism and is consistent with the standards of the national accrediting agency (ACEJMC) that evaluates journalism education programs. These standards exclude classes in broadcasting (BECA), public relations (MKTG), and advertising (MKTG) from qualifying as non-journalism units. Photography and film production classes in Art and Cinema are also excluded.
