This course is divided into two sections: the afternoon writing program and evening lecture series.
The afternoon writing program is designed to teach students to write imaginative and interesting prose using correct English and effective story-telling methods. Students will write nearly every day and have their work assessed by professionals.
The lecture series is an introduction to newspapers, radio, television and online journalism. It aims to create an awareness of how the history of journalism and the organization of the news media have influenced journalistic principles and practices. Students will learn how to read, listen to and watch the news knowledgeably and critically.
