Intro to Literary Journalism

Introduction to Literary Journalism
This course will introduce you to reading and writing literary journalism, which is, at essence, a genre of nonfiction writing that combines immersion reporting and storytelling. Like newspaper reporting, literary journalism presents hard facts and credible research, but it also often uses a subjective narrative voice, one that expresses emotion and opinion. Each week, we’ll discuss literary journalism articles in order to understand and then practice the research techniques and aspect of craft that make them well written and resonant. You’ll also write your own work of literary journalism on a subject you choose. This course can count as an introductory CRWR workshop.
