Overview

Good writing has the ability to create a profound effect on readers. When written skillfully, a blog post, news article, or speech can make readers think, smile, or laugh, and when shared, these powerful words can bring people from all walks of life together. Your talent in this area can be used to help inspire and teach people — people you could only have reached through writing.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 64% of writers and authors are self-employed, creating their own office hours and working anywhere they have access to a computer.* If you’ve dreamed about a fast-paced career that lets you have the flexibility to travel or make your own schedule, the English and Writing - Journalism (Online) program from Liberty University Online would be a great fit!

But a career in journalism allows you to do more than travel — it allows you to pursue your love for lifelong learning. As a reporter or journalist, you can be a part of researching stories, interviewing expert sources, and uncovering the truth about situations. Your knowledge can then be used to educate and inspire others.
