Phoenix's colleges and universities are particularly adept with their broadcasting programs. The Grand Canyon University School of Communication offers teaching in a variety of fields, such as speech, theatre, photography, news writing and reporting, broadcasting, communications and the media, sports broadcasting, and journalism. Arizona State University offers degrees in photography, communication, communication studies, film and media studies, film and media production, journalism and mass communication- media management, media analysis & criticism, and multimedia writing. These are but a few offerings from Phoenix's extremely varied landscape of broadcasting-related degrees.
The market in Phoenix looks promising over the next several years for broadcasting and media professionals. The media and communication workers field is expected to grow by 5.9% between 2004 and 2006, adding 406 new jobs in that time (not to mention existing jobs that will experience openings). Editors are projected to increase in demand by 3.5% over that time frame, coming to employ 1,124 people, and audio and video equipment technicians should see a rise of 3.6%, meaning that a total of 750 workers will be employed in that Phoenix field.
