CO2066 Journalism in the Digital Age I

This course provides students with a direct engagement with journalism as it is practiced in the current age and from the perspective of its origins, development, and purposes. The course will combine theoretical knowledge and skills development in the service of an ongoing news organization. It will create a newsroom for a digital newsletter at a minimum of five times during the semester with the intent to disseminate news relevant to the Landmark College community. The newsletter will primarily present written content, but may incorporate mixed media elements as suitable for the “digital age.” Every student will produce writing each week and work both individually and collegially toward completing an established number of publishable written articles. This course will also include visiting speakers who practice in the field. Credits: 3
