Digital Media & Journalism is one of the largest academic departments on campus, offering majors in Journalism, Digital Media Production and Digital Media Management. We combine methods from the humanities and social sciences in our study of how people share and represent ideas through mass media. Our faculty value freedom of speech and the press as tools for informing and promoting a democratic dialogue.
The department also offers the College's only distinguished visiting professorship and has had three Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists and best-selling authors on campus to teach classes. Students and faculty have earned regional, state and national awards.
Hear Professor Gregory Bray '00, a New Paltz alum, talk about the opportunities offered by the DMJ department and the accomplishments of its students and faculty:
*Media Studies is now available to declare as of Fall 2024! The new major takes the place of Media Management (formerly Digital Media Programming & Management), which students can no longer declare. Current majors in Media Management will complete their degree as planned.
