I visited Pitzer a week ago. It’s been on my list for ages, but I fell in love with it when I was on campus and I’d like to ED. The student body and school mission seem perfect for me.
But I’m not 100% sure about their programs in areas like journalism. My tour guide told me that Media Studies had a journalism track (or something similar) but I looked at the course catalogue and most of the classes seem to be focused on film. Can anyone give me insight on what Media Studies is like and to what extent it deals with print, online, and broadcast journalism?
Additionally, I’ve had a hard time accessing 5C publications. I found The Peel online, and it looks very interesting if a little small (though lovingly taken care of). I also ran across 1963 Magazine, which looks awesome, if again sort of small. Has anyone had any experiences with these?
Are there any other newspapers/magazines/etc printed at Pitzer? What about at the 5Cs in general? My interviewer said there was a 5C paper but I can’t find it online. I’ll take any information information on any publication, though, no matter how small.
Lastly, and I understand that this board probably isn’t the best place to ask this question - has anyone from Pitzer done journalism-related internships? I know kids from CMC have, but the school doesn’t fit me in any other way.
