FOREWORD BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD

Advances in New Media and Communication Technologies have led to an increase in the need for qualified communication professionals to be employed in the media sector. As a department, our aim is to provide an education that will respond to these needs and to provide our students with all the qualities that a reporter/journalist should have. With the education we provide, we aim to develop both the theoretical background of our students and to provide them with practical skills.

As the Department of Journalism, we follow current developments and prepare our lesson plan accordingly. With our competent academic staff, we have made it our main goal to be one of the best journalism departments in Turkey and to represent our faculty in the international arena.

We are happy to have idealistic and entrepreneurial young people who aim to become successful journalists in our faculty. We believe that we will accomplish successful works with all our students and academic staff in our department.
