Lecturer Pool in Department of Journalism & Mass Communication (Academic Year 26/27)

Department of Journalism & Mass Communication Temporary Faculty Pool

The Department

At Cal Poly Humboldt, our journalism and public relations students train to be gatherers of reliable content and trustworthy storytellers. Our students dig into media-making in their first semester building blogs, taking photos, conducting interviews and producing videos and podcasts. Here are some of the opportunities students have with us:

• Report and write for The Lumberjack and El Leñador.

• Contribute feature content in Osprey magazine.

• Broadcast live bands on KRFH-FM radio.

• Create a public relations campaign for a non-profit organization.

• Produce video documentaries about climate solutions.

While building a portfolio, students glean deeper appreciation for media history, ethics, and learn their rights to publish, protest and photograph. Our journalism program prepares students to work professionally in media and public relations or to start their own business. We prepare our students for graduate and law school. Our graduates work hard to make the world a better place.
