Is American University a good school for Broadcast Journalism? It seems like they have an amazing facility and awesome internships. It also looks very affordable and it’s not too far from where I live. Did anyone go there? I’m specifically interested in news production, so any information would be highly appreciated!
A number of well-known broadcast reporters and producers graduated from this program, such as Susan Zirinsky, She was the executive producer of 48 Hours for more than 20 years. She also produced breaking news specials for CBS News. In 2003 she won a Primetime Emmy Award as a producer. A few weeks ago she was named President of the News Division of CBS. Cecilia Vega, ABC anchor and Senior White House Correspondent is also an alum. I saw her speak at the Family Weekend last fall. She said that the professors in AU’s School of Communication are truly excellent, and the equipment and studios are state-of-the-art. My kid studies Political Science so I don’t know anything about the actual courses.
