School of Journalism
At the University of Regina School of Journalism, you’ll learn to craft stories for all forms of media. Stories that engage. Stories that inform. Stories that empower the public. Stories that build a stronger, smarter and more democratic society. Through thoughtful discussion and interactive approaches to writing, researching, reporting, editing, broadcasting and photojournalism, we hope to inspire our graduates to be educated, effective and enlightened journalists in service to their communities.
How we achieve this vision:
- By recognizing the diverse forms and voices that comprise today’s media.
- By truly connecting with our students, through small classes and personalized mentorship.
- By preparing our students with the knowledge and skills to excel equally across media platrforms.
- By exploring creative, in-depth approaches to journalism, and by guiding students to practice the art of journalism at its highest level.
- By connecting to place, culture and community, through specialized instruction and activities in areas like community and alternative media, Indigenous awareness and rural/agricultural issues.
- By giving students experience in the classroom of the world, through four-month paid internships, field trips, travel support, community projects, and opportunities to participate in conferences, special events and other learning activities.
- By connecting students to local, national and international journalism networks.
- By celebrating journalism as a global endeavor that is key to human experience and transformation.

James M. Minifie Lecture
In June 1980, the James M. Minifie Fund was set up to help support the School of Journalism at the University of Regina. The fund has provided the school with modern facilities for classes in all aspects of journalism. The fund also supports a free public annual lecture featuring Canada's most distinguished journalists.
We hope to schedule the next Minifie Lecture in 2024.
