Do you have the courage to speak truth to power? Journalists in Washington have the power to spotlight the needs of the poor and oppressed, to hold government officials accountable, or to bring down a presidency. Georgetown has a rich tradition of educating journalists to aggressively follow a well-grounded ethical compass in the drive to bring truth to the surface.
The Journalism Workshop gives students the opportunity to advance their skills in print, photo, and broadcast journalism, as well as in blogs and other digital media. Learn the fundamentals of journalism and how to succeed in a fast-paced, 24-hour news cycle from experienced instructors and prominent national journalists. Then venture into Washington to see the process up close and in action. Past workshops have taken students to Congressional hearings, Pentagon briefings, and the First Lady’s office in the East Wing of the White House. You’ll see and learn how to capture the attention of the president or a member of Congress, get questions answered during a press conference, and develop sources within government agencies. Back on campus, you’ll craft compelling stories and work with journalism trailblazers in a media lab to perfect and showcase your work.
