JOUR 1111 - Writing for TV, Radio & the Ne

Institution:

Darton State College (Closed)

Subject:

Journalism

Description:

Enrollment in journalism schools is up, but newspaper readership is declining. The future of journalism probably is in what is known as cross-platform, or multi-media, reporting. This course proposes to teach students, who have learned traditional methods of reporting in Journalism 1110, to write for a variety of genres and media. This class would include discussions of how and why journalism has evolved from newspapers and broadcast in the 20th century to newspapers, broadcast, cable, and the new Media in the 21st century. The course would also provide instruction and practice in writing for the New Media, which includes web sites, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Digg.com, and others. Finally, the course would include a study of how people access, use, and produce news. Careful attention would be given to the interactive nature of today's reporting. Prerequisite: ENGL 1101. Corequisite: none. Offered: Spring semester.
