What does it mean to be a journalist in an era where news is reported in real time and fake news feels just as prevalent as real news? This class will give you a behind-the-scenes press pass … to journalism itself.
We’ll discuss how the advancement of technology has impacted journalism, how American journalism differs from the rest of the world, and where news is headed next. The remainder of the class will then be Q&A and open discussion, so bring any questions you have about this ever-changing industry!
