Storytelling and Society

This course explores ways in which issues in our society can be framed within a multitude of journalistic storytelling frameworks. Students will work individually and in groups to critique, craft and create different in-depth reporting projects around issues pertinent to the society they live in now. Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to experiment with different techniques in journalistic storytelling, including visual, audio and text formats, while pitching pieces around thematic topics such as gender, race, media, education, environment or criminal justice.
