Fall 2024 Course Details: 

How is the university going to choose a new dean for the College of Liberal Arts? Who decides when to change a study lounge into a built-up triple dorm room? Where can needy families on the Seacoast get a free meal, and why are those places getting busier? Why doesn’t the university build a parking garage?

This is the class where you’ll learn to seek answers to these kinds of questions and tell the true stories they reveal. By researching and writing weekly news articles, you’ll begin to grasp the practice of journalism and better understand the role of journalists in our society.

Responsible, accurate journalism is more important now than it ever was. We’re bombarded with so much information every day that it’s hard to determine what’s reliable and what’s not. The world needs great journalists to tell important stories.

This is a required course for all English/Journalism majors.
