History

Early years to now

The Department of Journalism was founded in 1927 as part of the School of Commerce, just six years after the first edition of 'Temple University Weekly,' which later became 'The Temple News.'^[3] The school used to house the theatre school and school of film and media arts, but separated in 2012. After the separation, the school was renamed the School of Media and Communication, as part of a realignment that moved the Departments of Film and Media Arts and Theatre to a new Center for the Arts.^[4] Later that year, the department of broadcasting, telecommunications, and mass media was renamed the Department of Media Studies and Production. ^[5] In 2017, the Department of Advertising was renamed the Department of Advertising and Public Relations, and the Strategic Communication Department transformed into the Department of Communication and Social Influence.^[6]
