In this course, students dive into the fundamentals of audio journalism and begin to develop their own storytelling styles and voices. Along the way, they learn the technical side of audio while building confidence in creating stories for the ear (a much different process than writing for the eye). And it all starts and ends with reporting and writing ? for both broadcast radio stories and longform podcasts.

In introduction to Visual Storytelling, students will become better producers and consumers of visual media. Students will develop a deeper visual literacy by studying topics like visual ethics, aesthetics, agency, and the currents of the modern visual journalism ecosystem. By reporting their own video, photography and data visualization projects, students will learn how to control exposure with a DSLR camera, how to capture quality video and how to use different editing and production software.

This hands-on course will familiarize students with the duties of a sport journalist on a live streamed sports show. Students will work on teams and take turns hosting, reporting and occasionally opining on "Sports Talk Live!!!", our in-class live streamed sports show. The work includes hosting/moderating the show, reporting, and doing game previews and recaps, analysis and responding to live comments and questions from the live streaming audience. Enterprising students may even have the opportunity do live reports from the field.
