A tradition of excellence in collegiate journalism

In its 40-year history, The Communicator has established itself as one of the top two-year college newspapers in North America. Recently, The Communicator Online has grown into a respectable publication in its own right.
As SFCC Journalism expands its curriculum to include new media topics such as podcasting, multimedia journalism, and audio/video production, and motion graphics, students continue to uphold standards of past staff members.
