Department of Journalism

The Department of Journalism originated alongside the establishment of the Department of Mass Communication and Public Relations, offering a major in Newspaper Studies under the broader field of Mass Communication and officially established as the Department of Journalism in 1974. In 1995, Thai name of the Department of Journalism was renamed from “ภาควิชาการหนังสือพิมพ์” (Newspaper) to “ภาควิชาวารสารสนเทศ” (Journalism) to reflect the transition toward digital media and the emerging information society. The department places emphasis on information science, print media, and information communication, covering areas such as information gathering, fact-finding, writing, analysis, and communication — as well as media management and content production across all online platforms.

Graduates are equipped to produce fact-based written content as content providers who foster rational and informed public discourse across all platforms. Their work may include news writing, documentary features, investigative reporting, and information curation, as well as social media management. They are well-prepared for careers in news agencies, magazines, journals, online publications, government offices, state enterprises, and international organizations involved in information gathering and communication.
