Online Media - North Miami, Florida, United States
The Society of Professional Journalists at Florida International University is an official campus chapter of SPJ – a national organization determined to protect and improve the freedom of the press. Members are dedicated to a free press and recognize that accurate, fair and balanced journalism is essential to American liberties and the concept of self-government as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.Our mission is to foster excellence among young journalists in the South Florida community. SPJ-FIU wants to inspire successive generations of curious and passionate students to become committed journalists. Club members recognize that today's digital era has changed the future of the industry for good, so they work toward bridging the gap between traditional news values – which, if lost, pose a serious threat to the freedom of Americans – and creating compelling and content-rich multimedia news packages.If you are a student at FIU who wants to learn real-world journalism – not just lessons in a classroom – join us! We meet in AC2 132 at the Biscayne Bay Campus.
