Journalism 491CJ - S-Community Journalism II

This course continues the work begun in Community Journalism Project, an intermediate reporting class that sends students to ghettos, barrios and poor white and working class communities in the region. Undergraduates and high school students form reporting teams to produce projects that get at the nuance and complexity of living with and overcoming poverty and racism. Includes intensive fieldwork, substantial newswriting and devotion the reading. Students may take Community Journalism II without taking Community Journalism I beforehand.

This course is open to all; Community Journalism 1 is not a pre-requisite for this course.
This course frequently takes a bus to Springfield to mentor students at Commerce High School.
