In this class, students are given a thorough grounding in the art of nonfiction narrative by using both classic and contemporary exemplars as templates. In addition, each student produces a major longform piece that upholds the hallmarks of the genre which include excellent prose, imaginative and far-reaching reporting, and an immersive approach to the subject matter. Every effort will be made to pair student work with a worthy publication.
Open to Senior and Junior JOURNAL majors only. Pre Req: JOURNAL 300
