In the past few years, journalism has undergone a major transformation. Journalism is now mediated by digital technologies, leading to new practices, business models, and journalistic norms. Specific skills for digital journalism include data journalism, solutions journalism, and strategic digital communications. Today’s journalists need to fill diverse roles, requiring not only an agile understanding of emerging social trends but also specialized expertise. Start by completing two years and obtain the Diploma in Journalism at Algonquin College (in English) (a minimum average of 3.0 is required) and then transfer to Honours Bachelor in Digital Journalism at the University of Ottawa to do four more terms (60 units). The University has no registration limits in this stream.
