ADVANCED MAGAZINE WRITING

Catalog description

(Slashed with MDJ 56021 ) Great writing comes to us in many ways, just as magazines do now. No longer confined to the printed page, magazine-style writing has found a home in digital environments where the word counts are unlimited and the shareability infinite. Magazines are created for targeted (not general) audiences who want their magazines to inform, amaze, delight, challenge, inspire, connect, surprise and entertain them. We will read instructive magazine-style journalism from the past and present and study its structures, methods and styles. You will produce writing destined for magazines and other outlets that publish original, deeply reported journalism. Though not required, it is recommended that students take MDJ 36018 prior to taking this course.
