Welcome to the George Washington University Semester In Washington Journalism Program!

Ask any journalist to define journalism today and most get tongue-tied.

• Is a blog journalism?
• Is the media as biased as so many say?
• Is business killing journalism?
• What has happened to journalistic ethics?

The Semester in Washington Journalism Program puts all these issues on the table as you journey through the maze of media in the nation’s capitol, seeing first hand how the news is shaped, journalism’s interactions with the nation’s politics and how the journalism business is changing.

Program Highlights:

• Intern four days a week at a premier journalistic, political or public relations organization.

• Become part of the George Washington University community, living in apartment-style residence halls in the heart of downtown DC.

• Take specially designed seminar through the George Washington University’s internationally renowned School of Media and Public Affairs.

• Meet and hear from leading journalists and news makers.

• Go behind the scenes where and when the news happens.

Whether you are ready with a resume tape, heading for public relations or just curious about the news, your semester in Washington will change the way you view the media and give your career a head start.
