Description:

This extensive, specialty writing class is open to students who may take it as many times as they desire. Students will help write and publish the Eagle Eye, the campus bi-weekly newspaper. Class time will offer a focus beyond merely writing and publishing competent stories in print journalism; discussion periods will include analysis of writing for TV and radio broadcast stations and public relations offices. Students will work on a variety of writing assignments every semester covering: hard news, features, profiles, in-depth stories and investigative stories, editorials and opinion pieces, and even specialty writing (business, sports and the arts). Different legal and ethical issues in the media will be considered each semester, including ones relating to privacy, obscenity, sunshine laws and the media's self-proclaimed status as the "Fourth Estate."
