MSU Denver and Auraria Campus will be closed Friday, Nov. 8, due to inclement weather.

Welcome to the Department of Journalism and Media Production

“To be starting at this moment when journalism itself is changing so much. To be part of remaking it into something new. To be reporting on these difficult times. To be battling untruth with truth.”

-Ira Glass, Journalist for NPR’s This American Life

Ira’s words reflect not only the change we seek in Journalism, but also the change we seek in every aspect of Media Production–from writing technical communication to public relations, graphic design, video production, broadcasting, social media, and leadership in the industry.

Be part of the change you seek, and join us!
