School of Journalism

Welcome to the Ryerson School of Journalism

The Ryerson School of Journalism, at the centre of downtown Toronto, offers a dynamic, hands-on learning environment in Canada's largest city and media capital.

Student reporters use the vibrant and diverse streets of Toronto as their workshop: a bustling Yonge Street, City Hall, the financial district, and distinct social neighborhoods like Chinatown and Kensington Market. Students write, report, broadcast and publish under the guidance of world class faculty members who work in the industry and hold students accountable to excellent standards. Once they have completed their foundational courses students are free to choose courses to suit their interests and their strengths.  Their work appears in a variety of forms and publications including a weekly campus paper, The Ryersonian, and the award-winning magazine Ryerson Review of Journalism. Ryerson Journalism students receive the hands-on experience necessary to not only obtain jobs as reporters and producers, but also to excel in the newsroom.

Many journalism professionals rate Ryerson as the place to study journalism in Canada. Journalism departmental chair, Paul Knox says, "Ryerson students are known for their ability to hit the ground running." Indeed: Our graduates leave with a critical analysis of today's world and an arsenal of media tools and skills. They go on to become some of the brightest and most successful journalists in Canada today.
