In this class, students will develop a variety of skills necessary for undertaking writing feature stories and getting them published. Students will learn to identify strong story ideas, query magazine editors, and turn ideas into finished products ready for submission. Finding the story is a process that unfolds throughout the writing process of gathering information and facts (through observation, research, and interviews), developing a strong lead, selecting and structuring the material, and revising for clarity and interest.

This course continues the work begun in Community Journalism Project (394C), an intermediate reporting class that sends students to ghettos, barrios and poor white and working class communities in the region. Includes intensive fieldwork, substantial newswriting and devotion the reading.

This is a writing course. It consists chiefly of weekly individual conferences with the teacher. The topics for most for the writing assignments are chosen by the individual students themselves, and can be drawn from the popular culture.

This course will develop an understanding of the ethical questions raised by media coverage in a democratic society at a time of focus on profit over news values and on entertainment over substance. Issues discussed will include: accuracy and fairness, diversity, conflicts of interest, privacy, deception, relationships with sources and photojournalism. We will also learn to identify news values--or lack of them--both as professionals and as consumers. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Journ majors.
