| Writing Skills The basis of all journalism is writing clearly and concisely. The UW-O journalism program teaches these skills early on by requiring all majors to complete news writing and editing courses as prerequisites to almost all other journalism classes. Students in the writing/editing emphasis who will write for a living continue to hone their writing skills in the wide variety of courses offered by the journalism department. Some of these writing courses include: Reporting, Advanced Reporting, Feature Writing, and Magazine Editing and Production. Journalism majors also write for the award winning Advance-Titan student newspaper, and apply their skills further by interning and freelancing at area papers like the Oshkosh Northwestern, Appleton Post Crescent, Green Bay Press Gazette and Fond du Lac Reporter.
