The Journalism Department
at Eastern Illinois University offers students a number of opportunities
to put their classroom lessons to work on award-winning publications.
The
Daily Eastern News, a newspaper published Monday through
Friday during fall and spring semesters and Tuesdays and Thursdays during the summer terms, is
edited and produced by students. Journalism
faculty serve as advisers, but the students make all content decisions.
Eastern is one of the smallest
universities in the country with a daily newspaper. This
insures ample opportunity
to work under the stresses of real life deadlines.The DEN maintains and
runs its own Goss Printing Press, located across the hall from
the newsroom.
Minority Today , a newspaper for and about the diverse
groups of people at Eastern, is student produced and edited. This
publication highlights the activities of minority students
and the issues that affect them on Eastern's campus.
PounceOnline, an online feature magazine, is a
recognized student organization created to give students the
opportunity
to learn
how to
write, photograph,
design and organize content on the Internet. The department provides advisers to the publication, but, like The Daily Eastern
News, students control the content.
The
Warbler is the university yearbook. At Eastern a yearbook
has been continuously published since 1919. Each year every full-time
student receives a yearbook. Working out of the newsroom of The
Daily Eastern News, The Warbler also is created on a
computer pagination system which provides digital files that can
be sent directly to the printer. The all-color yearbook serves as
an excellent place for students to put their new editorial, graphic
design and photography skills to work.
WEIU-TV
and -FM Journalism
students can receive a strong broadcast journalism experience through
active work for newswatch, 30-minute newscasts and various sports
and public affairs programs produced by the Radio and TV Center.
Students
get hands-on experience working in the PBS-affiliated studios and
labs of WEIU TV.
The Vehicle is a student literary magazine
designed and created by students majoring in journalism or other
academic programs. It features short stories, photography, poetry
and other works created
by
Eastern
students.
