Overview

Facts. Empathy. Place. The next generation of storytellers. Through a liberal arts approach, Journalism at Denison University teaches factual, narrative storytelling to students and faculty across disciplines, and in both traditional and multimedia formats, for the purpose of cultivating the next generation of empathetic reporters, writers, and citizens.

The World Needs Journalists

Let’s face it. America needs more journalists… journalists who are committed to communicating the facts with skill and integrity. Journalism at Denison is a liberal arts approach to journalism, and we are proud of this distinction. At the core of this is our belief that an educated and empathetic citizenry begins with good storytelling. Skilled writers come from all disciplines and, in fact, are needed to tell stories and explain complicated issues from STEM fields to the humanities. The liberal arts invites us to analyze and understand from multiple viewpoints, which connects seamlessly into doing sure-footed and well-researched reporting. Journalism students gain the ability to share information and tell stories that impart knowledge, create conversation, and even enact change in their field.

Journalism is a way to push beyond the boundaries of personal narratives and incorporate fact-based, researched storytelling into long-form reportage, like that seen in the best writing for the last hundred years from places like The New Yorker, Esquire, and Harper’s.
Journalism is meant to serve as an entry point for those students interested in writing for broader audiences, for taking their field of study and making the facts accessible to the everyday person through skilled storytelling. The hallmarks of such writing include literary attention to scene and storytelling, as seen in fiction and drama, but are grounded in journalistic principles of fact, research, sources, and reporting.
