MULTIMEDIA JOURNALISM

Catalog description

This course is designed to give students the knowledge and skills needed to become multimedia professionals. Before each technology is introduced, students will learn the principles and goals involved in creating interesting, professional stories. This class is not about equipment operation or software but, rather, will focus on the ways journalists can use new technologies. However, it is important that students come to this class already familiarized with the basic tools of Internet publishing and multimedia journalism. Students will continue to develop news judgment and reporting abilities in this class. By the end of the semester, students are expected to develop a multimedia media package.
