This course will introduce students to the work of a field journalist, learning how to quickly navigate unknown places, people and points of view to discern what is real, what is right, and what is truthful. The class will hear from global correspondents, interact with local Italians, and simulate the real-world experience of a foreign correspondent writing for a major news organization. You will also get to research, write, and compose articles in various different media formats, such as print, podcast, and vlogs; all culminating in a portfolio of work. The course will be taught abroad at Villa Le Balze in Fiesole, Italy. Students may enroll by application only. Visit studyabroad.georgetown.edu to apply and for further information.
