Writing the City

Catalog description

In this advanced course, students use their journalism skills to create compelling stories about the city of Providence. Choosing from multiple media, students work to shed light on urban issues such as housing, homelessness, education, development, and more. Each student chooses an area of interest and, for the rest of the semester, pursues reporting and writing on that issue. By the end of the semester, students can expect to have produced a portfolio of well-crafted works of journalism, with the goal of having one or more accepted for publication. Writing sample required for admission in first week of class. Registration after classes begin requires instructor approval. S/NC.
