    Description
    This third-semester course builds on the experience gained in JOUR 411. It focuses on advanced intermediate writing and production skills, using the school newspaper The Current, as a practical laboratory. The course provides the opportunity to work in at least three of the following areas: researching, writing, and editing articles for the publications; taking photographs and/or managing artwork and creating graphic illustrations; developing multimedia stories, designing pages or posting to the website and social media. Students will learn to conduct editorial meetings in which issues are planned; research, assign, and edit assignments from reporters and photographers for publication; and manage production. Ethical and legal aspects of communication are also covered.
