[edit] Journalism program
The Grady College consists of three departments: Advertising and Public Relations, Journalism, and Telecommunications. The college provides instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels in public relations, advertising, broadcast news, magazines, newspapers, new services, photojournalism, publication management, telecommunications, and new media. Since 1935 the students at Grady College have produced the student written, student edited magazine the UGAzine, which is printed in the UGA printshop. The student magazine is solely self-sufficient and sustains itself by advertising revenue. Due to the increase in advertising revenue in the past years and the subsequent evolution into a 4 color publication, the UGAzine has become a prominent and respected fixture on the UGA campus.
Degrees offered by the college include:
- Bachelor of Arts in Journalism (A.B.J.)
- Master of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication (M.A.)
- Master of Arts in Health and Medical Journalism (M.A.)
- Doctor of Philosophy in Mass Communication (Ph.D)
[edit] Research programs
The college houses the following centers and institutes for research and education:
- The James M. Cox, Jr. Center for International Mass Communication Training and Research
- CoxInstitute/The James M. Cox, Jr. Institute for Newspaper Management
- The Michael J. Faherty Broadcast Management Laboratory
- Dowden Center for New Media
The school also operates WUGA-TV, which UGA acquired on Oct. 15, 2008.
[edit] Namesake
The college was named after one of its alumni, Henry Woodfin Grady. Shortly after graduating from the University of Georgia, with a bachelors degree in 1868, he left Athens and worked for several different newspapers. The combination of Henry W. Grady's alumni status, his editorial position and his Athens birth, motivated the renaming of the journalism school at the University of Georgia.[3]
[edit] Deans
Steadman V. Sanford taught the first journalism course at UGA in 1913.[citation needed] Sanford eventually went on to establish the college’s journalism school in 1921 and served as the journalism school’s director until becoming the president of Franklin College and dean of the University in 1926.[citation needed]
John E.Drewry, the second graduate of the journalism program in 1922, succeeded founder S.V. Sanford as director of the journalism school and accepted the position of dean when it was created in 1940.[citation needed] That same year he helped create the Peabody Awards.
Since Drewry's retirement in 1969, the school has had five deans: Among them are Warren K. Agee (1969–1975), Scott M. Cutlip (1975–1983), J. Thomas Russell (1983–2000), and E. Culpepper "Cully" Clark in 2005.[4]
[edit] Peabody Awards
Grady College established the George Foster Peabody Awards Program in 1940 and has since administered the award to recognize outstanding achievements in electronic media.[5]
