UC Berkeley Journalism - Program

Diversity

The goal of the Graduate School of Journalism is to produce professional print, broadcast, and new media journalists who move on to positions of leadership and influence. The school is committed to diversity in the classroom, the faculty as well as in the subject matter of our study. The school supports the efforts of the news industry to achieve a work force that is more representative of the country as a whole. The school also supports the idea that the individual journalist, regardless of race, color or gender, should be able to adapt to the most varied subject matter with the utmost versatility and grace. A vital part of the training is to encourage the aspiring journalist in gaining fluency of communication with every element of the community.
