Students come to the magazine program intent on becoming writers or editors. Storytelling is at the heart of magazine journalism, and magazine majors learn how to report, research, interview, write and edit stories for both print and web. They also acquire valuable multimedia skills such as capturing and editing video and audio to make sure they have the tools to tell those stories across platforms. No matter what kind of consumer magazine you hope to work for — from big, established names such as Vanity Fair, Self, Esquire, or Entertainment Weekly; to online publications like Deadspin or Slate; from general-interest publications New York to special-interest magazines like Bon Appetit — this major offers you the skills and experiences to be successful in this competitive field.
