Cal Poly Journalism
Today’s journalism requires practitioners who can go toe-to-toe with subject matter experts on complex statistical, scientific and technical topics.

Cal Poly embraces this challenge as we prepare the next generation of journalists and strategic communicators.

As technology continues to evolve and effective resource management becomes more crucial for the world’s growing population, it’s essential that society has journalists and communications professionals who can “connect the dots” – credibly, accurately and ethically – whether they have deep knowledge of their subject or are generalists who can be nimble in a number of technical and scientific disciplines.

We’ve seen that our students’ success goes hand in hand with their familiarity with science, facility with digital technology, and ability to use analytical skills to tell impactful stories.

Cal Poly strongly values diversity and inclusion, especially in the classroom and among its areas of study. This search will occur at the same time as a university-wide cluster of searches designed to increase curricular coverage of areas related to diversity and inclusion, as well as to promote inclusive teaching strategies across the university. If the successful Journalism: Media Law and Ethics candidate's research overlaps with the area of diversity and inclusion, they will have the opportunity to join and support these university efforts.
