Journalism 394I is a three-credit practicum experience that includes intensive reporting, writing, workplace collaboration and reflection on ethics, the role of public writing and the liberal arts education in the real-world experiences of the journalist. In addition to the traditional internship experience at a qualified employer, students will participate in a blog published on the Journalism Program website in which they will reflect on their liberal arts education and its relevance in their journalistic activities on the internship. Students will also visit Journalism classes and discuss their experiences with fellow classmates, with a particular emphasis on their liberal arts coursework and how they integrated this into their work. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Journ majors.
Open to Journalism majors only. Fulfils Intergrative Experience Requirement.
