About us

This blog is hosted by Pepperdine journalists in an effort to explore the future of journalism.

To examine the future of journalism a group of students under the leadership of Dr. Ken Waters have been conducting research, discussing findings and searching for innovative ways to tell stories.

The blog is split into five main categories: Case studies, curriculum, industry news, hiring and innovative features.

Medill School of Journalism Curriculum


The undergraduate program is for students who want to report, write and edit news and information relevant to individuals and society in a cross-platform environment. It focuses on the essentials of news and information gathering, critical thinking, writing, editing and presentation in multimedia, with opportunity for depth of study in specific subjects and techniques. Students also take classes on the trends, history, law and ethics of journalism.

Medill students also receive a strong liberal arts education. Since journalists need a strong foundation subjects at least 70 percent to 75 percent of their classes are in the humanties, social sciences, arts and natural sciences. A portion of these classes must focus on diverse cultures and the world beyond the United States.
