ST- Columns, Essays & Reviews

In this class we will study exemplary practitioners of each of these forms of nonfiction prose, with an emphasis on how these models will inform our own practice. By the end of the semester you should have written two columns, one regular newspaper length and one Modern Love piece, two reviews, and a reported essay of a generous length. We will work as a group to generate story ideas in each category.

However, the precise ways in which such ?new media? phenomena as Facebook & Twitter, the personal blog and the smart phone have transformed news gathering, packaging and dissemination still need to be researched and understood.
