Lakehead University Journalism Programs

Lakehead University Journalism Programs provides you with a well-rounded, interdisciplinary education emphasizing the critical analysis of media and the development of production skills. To gain a broad field of knowledge about the industry, you will explore topics related to the following media: 

• Video
• New Media
• Design
• TV
• Radio
• Sound Art

These programs will particularly allow you to immerse yourself in the cutting-edge world of social media – from production to dissemination to analysis – and beyond. Through hands-on labs and workshops, you will learn how new media is an accessible way to engage with our world and to challenge systemic problems like sexism, racism, homophobia, and social injustices of all kinds. 

You will have access to internship opportunities (with places such as Orillia Museum of Art and History, Rogers Television, and the Orillia Opera House) and projects that allow you to put your theoretical knowledge into creative practice.
