Arts journalism is a branch of journalism concerned with the reporting and discussion of the arts. This can include, but is not limited to, film, literature, music, theater, and architecture. Traditionally, journalists and critics writing about the arts had a background in writing and the arts; there was no formal advanced training in this field. In 2005, Syracuse University founded the Goldring Arts Journalism Program, the first arts masters program at an accredited school to teach journalists to write about arts and culture. http://artsjournalism.syr.edu
