ENG 273 - Journalistic Writing

This writing-intensive course is designed to introduce students to the various kinds of journalistic writing: basic news pieces, features, editorials, and reviews. It will provide them with the skills necessary to produce well written, accurate, insightful stories, and develop the skills necessary to do journalistic investigation and research. Through classroom workshops, students will also learn the basics of story editing, and the way in which generalized themes can be turned into specific, clearly defined journalistic pieces. In addition, they will become familiar with contemporary journalistic practices and issues involving ethics and standards in the media. Students in Journalistic Writing I will be encouraged to submit stories to Sandspur and join Sandspur’s staff.

Prerequisite(s): ENG 140 or equivalent.
