<p>I think you may be misunderstanding the revised curriculum. All students still specialize as they once did with upper level classes required in “pure” newspaper, magazine, new media, or broadcast. The one term internship is obviously related to that area of specialization (examples of sites available based on specialization: Atlanta Journal-Constitution v. Newsweek v. MSNBC v. Los Angeles Times Online). But while intro classes previously purely writing driven remain writing focused, they’ve expanded to include an exposure to and basic mastery of multimedia and web production. The heart and soul of the curriculum remains the written word - that hasn’t changed. Neither has the specialization that develops in both the classroom and via internships in the 3rd-4th years.</p>
