Covering Urban Affairs*

53-3120

In this advanced reporting and writing course, students learn how to cover city and county agencies as well as non-governmental organizations that impact urban life. Students interview agency officials, cover meetings, attend press conferences, and write news articles and in-depth pieces (including use of multi-media) that illustrate how government interacts - successfully and unsuccessfully - with neighborhoods and residents.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
