Summary
Langara Colleges journalism diploma program, renowned for its hands-on approach and quick path to the newsroom, faces potential closure due to low student demand and the struggling media industry. This move has left students and alumni, like Oksana Shtohryn and Gary Mason, feeling a mix of sadness and frustration, as they see it as a significant loss for the media landscape. The program chair confirms scaling back classes and not accepting new students, focusing on graduating the remaining ones.
