The Journalism Portfolio
PHILOSOPHY
The Journalism Portfolio should be a public showcase of the journalist’s work. It will demonstrate the journalist’s editorial judgment in arranging, revising, and presenting their own work. Most important, the portfolio will exhibit pieces that exemplify the multifaceted reflection that go into preparing, workshopping, copyediting, and finalizing journalistic writing. The portfolio will ultimately serve multiple purposes: to document progress while actively charting the path of one’s academic, career, and creative development.
