Journalistic Writing

The goal of this course is to build basic skills of news writing and reporting so that students could report, conduct an interview, and write for mass-communication such as newspaper, magazine, radio, television. The topic areas of the course include news, features, and editorials. Students will be trained to maintain journalism ethics; independence, accuracy, impartiality, and truth, whenever they project or interpret an event for their publication. The materials are delivered through lecture, discussion, workshop with journalist and media practitioners, individual project, and group assignments. At the end of the course, students are expected to have a good understanding on how a journalist works. Assessment covers students’ participation, weekly projects, and a final project.
