Dramatic changes in the media industry – as evidenced by last year’s closing of the nearby Rocky Mountain News in Denver – have prompted the University of Colorado at Boulder to review the future of its journalism program.
CU said Wednesday that on Sept. 1 a committee will start the process of “program discontinuance” for the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. A separate exploratory committee will determine what a new interdisciplinary “information and communication technology” program could look like.
The future of professional journalism is in jeopardy.
