Media Communications

Do you have a story to tell?

Media communications professionals may report the news, direct a film or produce a record, but their common thread is knowing how to create and distribute important messages to various audiences.

Grossmont College’s Media Communications (MCOM) department prepares students for success in the fields of audio/video production and journalism. Students receive hands-on training for radio, television, commercial video, film and documentary careers. Storytelling, writing, producing, videography, editing and broadcast performance are included in this broad-based curriculum.
