ENVST-UA 503 - Journalism and Society: Covering the Earth

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

As Web-based platforms increasingly dominate mass media, what specific forms should the "new" environmental journalism take? This course traces the development of traditional environmental journalism from John Muir to John McPhee and looks closely at how the field is adapting to a fastchanging media landscape. With the help of guests and timely readings, we confront thorny questions about environmental advocacy, citizen media, issue framing, risk balancing, and the scientific process. We produce stories that matter on the biggest news beat of all. This advanced seminar includes intensive journalistic writing assignments, as well as extensive readings for in-class discussion.
