Dr. Judith Roberts

Communication and journalism are needed everywhere, from rural once-a-week papers to a 24/7 online media outlet. One of the best things our graduates have going for them is that they can live anywhere -- they have the option of writing for so many different venues. Journalism and communication aren't going away. They're just expanding.
