The facilities at the Graduate School of Journalism include state-of-the-art Macintosh computer workstations and other digital equipment as varied as our students' interests.

Television

Television students use professional digital camcorders and work in a recently built Nan Tucker Documentary/TV computer lab that includes Final Cut Pro editing workstations.

Radio

Radio students learn their craft on digital audio recorders and advanced editing software in our Radio Lab, allowing them to enter the market with the technical skills they need to produce top quality radio news shows. For print students, our three main Newsroom computer labs are equipped with 65 new Macintosh 27” iMac computers, each loaded with a suite of word processing, spreadsheet and other multimedia applications. Each station has a high-speed Internet connection, allowing students to conduct research and communicate with people all over the world. In addition, students have access on the school computers and at home to the Nexis.com news archive service and other online news databases.

Writing/Magazine

Students in the magazine program also work in the computer labs and publish their own magazines using desktop publishing software.

Photography

For Photography students, our workstations provide the most state-of-the-art software for processing digital photography. This along with a variety of high end digital cameras and supporting equipment provide many pluses to our Photography curriculum.

Multimedia students can work in any one of the large computer labs at workstations equipped with a suite of multimedia applications for Web page creation and video, audio and photo editing. Programs include the Adobe Master Suite CS5.5, Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, and Photoshop. Digital video cameras, digital audio recorders and digital photo cameras also are provided for reporting on multimedia projects.
