The Voice: Real Journalism, Real Experience
Step into the newsroom withthe Voice, Langara’s student-run publication — the capstone of our Journalism Diploma. As a reporter, editor, or producer, you’ll cover stories that matter to the Langara community and South Vancouver, publishing in print, online, and through podcasts and broadcasts.

When I studied there, it was more than learning in the classroom — it was about getting outside, learning the community, and feeling like I DID SOMETHING. It challenged me in the best ways possible and built life skills far beyond journalism.
