The fluency in the Polish language is a pre-requisite for working as a journalist both in the printed media, TV and radio stations, electronic media and in public relations agencies. The following paper analyses the linguistic skills of the IEMiD students, with the analysis being based on three sources: reports issued by the IEMiD, the author`s own experiences in her job as a lecturer, and a language test taken by students. The paper suggests that linguistic skills be incorporated into the curriculum of the journalism studies by the means of introducing three new courses: 1. Text editing and shortening. Journalism techniques (BA studies). 2. How to be an efficient writer. A strategy for journalists (BA studies). 3. Narrative techniques. Writing techniques for writers and journalists (BA studies). The paper also suggests that a course pertaining to the religious vocabulary be incorporated into the curriculum of the BA studies.
