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.Register for the Honours bachelor's degree at the University and, after completing 60 units (four terms), transfer to Algonquin College (English program) or to La Cite college (French program) to complete the diploma program in journalism.

In addition, upon completion of 60 units at the University of Ottawa, you must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 6.0/10 (70%) to be admitted to Algonquin College or La Cite.
