Student Media Practicum

Catalog description

Taken in their first semester, the one-credit practicum in student media course is tied to five hours per week of work in student media. Students are part of the Live Wire desk, which helps students get access to all areas of the content and engagement opportunities at The Wire. These include all types of storytelling (digital, print, audio, video, creative), community outreach, analytics, and social media. Students wishing to continue working at The Wire, can take additional practicum credits or apply for paid positions within the organization. Students in the practicum report directly to the Director of Student Media and are assigned content weekly from editorial leadership within The Wire.
