Latin American Journalism

Latin American Journalism
In this course we will study the tradition of Latin American journalism from the end of the 19th century to the present. We will engage the classics such as Mariategui, Gutierrez Najera, and Arlt, as well as more contemporary journalistic production in print, radio broadcasting, on television, (Canal Encuentro; TV Globo) and the internet (blogs). The Cultural Studies approach (Sarlo, Adorno) will inform our reading. Students will produce their own journalistic pieces—both written and audio-visual—in the genres including chronicles, reports, interviews, investigative journalistic pieces, and opinion pieces. 3 hrs. lect/dsc
