Convergent media major equips students with the skill set to pursue a wide range of careers

Convergent media combines the traditional areas of journalism, broadcasting and audio and video production with digital technology and provides students with the skills necessary to be successful media professionals. A degree in convergent media prepares students for exciting careers in the areas of web design, broadcasting, film production, scriptwriting, sports reporting, newsgathering and audio production.

A heavy amount of journalistic writing and production courses make up the bulk of the program and students are able to gain hands-on experience through several student-managed media operations on campus including:

• MSU-TV
• The Trail Blazer
• NewsCenter
• Morehead State Public Radio

In addition to the hands-on opportunities available on campus, students in the program are also required to complete a practicum or  internship experience that will be included as credit hours earned toward their degree. Recent internships have been completed at the following:

• WLKY-TV
• WKYT-TV
• Ashland Daily Independent
• Kentucky Educational Television
