Mass Communications
(including advertising, journalism and digital media (print and digital), and public relations)
The study of journalism and mass communications provides students with the tools to function effectively in an information-sensitive society, both as creators and consumers of information. The list of JMC graduates from K-State includes a United States senator, the White House press secretary for both President Bush and President Reagan, an associate producer of NBC-TV’s ‘‘Dateline’’ program, the director of public relations for General Motors, photo editors of the Kansas City Star and other leading newspapers, news and sports anchors of Kansas TV stations, and creative directors and media planners at national ad agencies.
