JRN 116 - Introduction to Digital Journalism
An introduction to the fundamentals of journalistic reporting and storytelling in an interactive and immersive environment. Students will learn how to collect data and information using every tool in the journalistic arsenal, from notebooks and pens to online data collection. Students will begin the process of learning how to turn that core information into modern stories involving various elements such as text, audio, video, data visualization, and mapping - skills that will be built upon during other courses in the curriculum. Students will also explore how to use social tools both for information gathering and story amplification, and learn the philosophy that guides modern journalism: impartiality, ethical values and respect for accuracy. Students will build on their understanding of civic life and practice keeping pace with current events.
