About
The term “new media” encompasses a vast landscape, referring to interactive forms of communication that are reliant on digital technologies. New media platforms include online video, digital newspapers, email, social media, websites, blogs and multimedia.1 As media platforms continue to evolve, the art of writing for these new media outlets must also change.
The growth of new media can present exciting opportunities to those who are passionate about pursuing a career involving professional writing. Grand Canyon University’s Bachelor of Arts in Professional Writing for New Media offers a comprehensive survey of new media technologies and best practices in writing for these digital, potentially interactive platforms.
This professional writing degree teaches technical skills and strives to nurture creativity so graduates can be prepared to make their own mark on the world. In the professional writing courses, you will not only examine professional writing techniques and publication technologies but also have opportunities to produce your own work in our multimedia lab.
