Reimagining the News

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Students will explore the boundaries of what news might be, with an aim to diversify journalistic formats and reach under-served demographics and communities. In this student and audience-driven course, experimentation will be an essential element of assignment delivery. Graphic novels? Gaming? Explanatory broadcasts or solutions-based podcasts? Students will analyze how story design might help capture the interest of a targeted audience, challenge journalistic norms, and develop content that is well-sourced and evidence-based.
