Overview
Students of Digital Journalism at University of Ottawa need several key qualities, qualities they also continue to strengthen over time. Of course, natural curiosity and a passion for facts and information head the list. Also, true journalists are not out to serve a specific cause, but rather to serve the public good. To that end, students of journalism must also strive to share nothing but the best-quality information available.
Then, obviously, there’s the insistence on truth and relevance, on thorough, in-depth research and on rigorous presentation. In turn, good presentation means an ability to speak and write impeccably, and to wield both of these abilities as a technical tool and as an art form.
