Attention, journalism, broadcasting and sports communications majors! Consider enrolling this fall in Real World class, JOUR 348, a one-hour credit course in which students receive tuition reimbursement. The Real World class, which meets on Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m., is an awesome opportunity for you to learn from professional journalists who work at a large metropolitan news organization.
Each week, a staff member from the Omaha World-Herald meets with the class to discuss his or her area of expertise. You’ll learn helpful tips about news writing, sports writing, business writing, arts and entertainment coverage, editing, interviewing, photography, video, audio, social media – and more. Your work in the course is writing a weekly reflection paper about the guest speakers. Once you successfully complete the course, the World-Herald will reimburse your tuition for the one-hour credit class.
But that’s not all! After taking the course, you will be eligible to apply for a Real World fellowship, which is a semester-long paid internship at the World-Herald. In addition to pay for time worked, World-Herald fellows are reimbursed for 3 credit hours of tuition and receive a $2,500 stipend at the completion of the internship.
