Digital Journalism: Tell the Story

Hone your multimedia skills and thrive in the Information Age

Today's news comes fast and in many forms. People, businesses and nonprofits use tweets, blogs, podcasts and videos to reach the masses.

While anyone can post, publish and press "send," only those who can best tell the story will succeed at cutting through the clutter of competing messages.

Learn to get the word out through digital journalism with a two-year degree, short certificate or single course in Digital Journalism at Colorado Mountain College. The Digital Journalism track builds on the foundation of CMC's Associate of Applied Science in New Media degree.
