Introduction to Journalism
This introductory course in journalism provides students with a better understanding of the unique role and responsibility of the journalist working in a democratic society. The course covers the problems and techniques of the news reporter and provides practical experience in news gathering, editing, interviewing and copyrighting through lab work and submission to the student newspaper. Students focus on "Level 1" journalism: spot news reporting, such as crime, politics, and community gatherings such as sports and music events.
