In response to the evolving media landscape, Oxford University has launched a Master’s program in Digital Journalism, designed to equip students with the tools to navigate the complexities of modern reporting.

The program combines traditional journalistic principles with cutting-edge training in digital media, data journalism, multimedia storytelling, and investigative techniques. Students will learn how to adapt their storytelling skills to platforms such as social media, podcasts, video, and immersive formats like virtual reality.

Oxford’s journalism faculty has integrated courses on media ethics, AI in newsrooms, and combating misinformation into the curriculum. The course also includes a capstone project and opportunities for students to intern with global media outlets.

This new degree aims to nurture independent, responsible, and versatile journalists who can thrive in today’s fast-paced digital news environment. The program emphasizes critical thinking, verification, and integrity—values that are increasingly important in an era of misinformation.

The university expects the course to become one of the most sought-after journalism programs globally, given Oxford’s academic prestige and the urgent need for trained journalists who can uphold democratic values in the information age.
