Journalism

Journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information. It is also the product of these activities. Journalism can be distinguished from other activities and products by certain identifiable characteristics and practices.

Our journalism program offers journalism for transfer (AA-T) degrees, communication, media and languages associate's degrees and certificates.

Journalism student Miami Abdulal graduated from Norco College in June 2016, and in March 2019, Miami started working at ABC7 Eyewitness News as a News Assistant. Congratulations Miami! Click here to read more of her story.
