Course Theme:
The life of a freelance journalist is demanding, but hugely rewarding. This course will focus on getting started in journalism, how to get published, coming up with ideas, pitching to editors and exploring everything from feature writing to hard news and reviews. Print journalism is going through huge change, and the course will also examine broadening journalist horizons with broadcast and online media. A key element of the course will be writing exercises, homework and feedback/discussion on classwork.
