Journalism and Content Creation in the Digital Age (Session 1)

This hands-on course immerses students in the fast-paced world of journalism and content creation, blending traditional journalistic practices with digital-first strategies. Students will gain real-world experience by working in rotating production teams, taking on key roles such as Director, Producer, Talent, and Writer. Each week, teams will explore different subjects, such as entertainment, politics, and breaking news, rotating both roles and beats to build versatility.

The course culminates in a final solo project, where students will independently take on all four production roles (Director, Producer, Talent, and Writer) to create content for an assigned beat. This final challenge ensures that each student walks away with practical experience in managing the full production process.

Notes: Counts as an elective for the journalism major and both journalism minors.
