This is a 6-credit, advanced, multimedia reporting course with a strong focus on community engagement and data about Latino populations. In groups of two or more, students work on stories at an advanced journalistic level, developing strong reporting and narrative skills. They will learn a variety of reporting techniques, including traditional reporting, community engagement and listening methods, and put them into practice in weekly exercises and assignments. Throughout the semester students explore different types of journalistic approaches such as explanatory reporting, profile writing and in-depth articles. This course includes a publishing requirement that can be fulfilled on CUNY and independent news sites.
NOTE: Only students fluent in Spanish who obtain permission from the Bilingual Program Director are allowed to register for this course.
