College Newspaper Workshop

53-1015A

Students in this sophomore-level class serve as reporters and writers for The Columbia Chronicle, the college's award-winning weekly newspaper and its website. The class has learning objectives that parallel those of Reporting and Writing I (53-1015) and it may be substituted for Reporting and Writing I. Half the class time is devoted to an accelerated introduction to the fundamentals of journalism, and the other half to carrying out Chronicle assignments. Students receive the same training they would receive in Reporting and Writing I, but also gain hands-on experience in writing and reporting stories intended for publication and interact extensively with student editors. This class is also open to a limited number of photography majors interested in photojournalism and building their portfolios.
