Reporting/Writing News

Reporting and Writing the News
Students in this course will learn how to report, write, edit, and illustrate a variety of stories, including hard news, features, profiles, reviews, and op-eds. They will learn how to develop story ideas, conduct interviews, and write fair and engaging articles on deadline. Students will follow the news daily, and read a wide range of exemplary pieces. We will discuss the key legal and ethical issues facing today’s journalists, as well as the impact of digital and social media on the news business. Towards the end of the term, we will convert our classroom into a newsroom and produce a publication for the j-term community. This course can count as an introductory CRWR workshop.
