Journalism Ethics

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course explores the cornerstone of any journalistic endeavor: how to report and publish ethically. Students will examine vital questions not only from the vantage point of journalists but also from the perspective of survivors, sources, public figures and the public who need trustworthy news to make big decisions. Built primarily on in-class discussions, working through case studies and engagement with lectures and guests, students will also be evaluated based on several multimedia assignments over the course of the semester.
