If your kid can get some experience prior to college, it may give them a leg up for competitive programs. DC wants to be behind the camera, but he has an instagram page full of reels/vids/pictures. He's also done a couple of sideline commentaries and full game broadcasts for his school.

Realistically, people who want to seriously go into journalism will likely have to move around quite a lot between midsize cities--the ones that are big enough to have their own newspapers and news stations but are small enough to take chances on people who are not super well-known or experienced.

But for the media angle, I'd think all the good communications programs would be useful. In that field, your internships and connections and hustle will matter the most. And for media, it's better to be in a city. More opportunities.
ESPN headquarters is in Bristol, CT. Large city not required.
For internships or co-ops, larger cities are preferable. Plus, ESPN is a competitive employer to get hired by. Most media outlets are in urban areas.

Cronkite School at ASU is another one; one of the kids in my extended family is a recent graduate. Was very happy with the program, got tons of practical media experience while there. Has a pretty cool job now, easily supports self, has an agent... livin' the 24yo's dream.

Quinnipiac in CT. I was also going to say Ithaca but you got that one already.
This is a great suggestion. Several ESPN on-air personalities and producers are QU alumni.
