Cognitive Science 0124 - Newswork

In this course, we will become familiar with documentary, scholarly and popular representations of journalists at work. We will read literature on issues in present-day American journalism. And, learning some of the history and practice of writing the news story, we will carry out limited observations of actual journalists on the job. Students will write two essays and report on their fieldwork orally and in a final paper.
