In this hands-on, experiential course students will conduct in-depth reporting and practice telling stories of a range of local and (inter)national topics in a range of journalistic styles. The core activities of news gathering and production will be supplemented with lectures, readings, in-class activities and discussions, and guest speakers. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate with and pitch their work to professional news outlets. The course will culminate with an intensively reported enterprise project that exemplifies how local journalism can serve as a paradigm for exploring the global issues of the day. We will also turn a critical eye on journalistic norms and received wisdoms.

As this is a hands-on, collaborative, writing- and reading-intensive class, students will be expected to actively participate and commit time in and out of class to reading, research, writing, and editing.
