This four-credit writing course introduces students to the different forms of magazine writing, including short features and essays, longer-form pieces, first-person narratives, profiles and human-interest feature stories. Students will generate story ideas, develop research strategies, cultivate sources, research markets, and submit queries for publication in print and online formats. Students will read and discuss articles from a range of popular, literary, and trade magazines, and, in a community of peer writers, they will write, review and revise several works of their own.

A hard look at history to reveal the complexity, nuance, and ugliness which is the legacy of racism, colonialism, and slavery. That history as a foundation for understanding ourselves and for a journalistic prose that both elevates discourse and enlightens readers. Substantial readings and writings.

In this advanced reporting and writing course, we will explore the history as well as the contemporary landscape of narrative journalism?a form of reportage that uses the tools and techniques of narrative?and ask critical questions about its epistemology, conventions, and ethical standards. We will read prominent works and analyze their potential meanings and craft. We will practice key techniques and methods in writing workshops.

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.
