    Description
    This course is the first in a series of journalism and media production workshops in broadcast news. Emphasis is placed on creating content and editing in a newsroom and television studio using a convergence model in which students collaborate with other student media on campus to produce a wide range of multimedia journalism samples. Topics include identifying newsworthy stories, newswriting and reporting for multimedia journalism content development, news and video editing, and control room operations. Legal and ethical issues in news media, including the implications of social and cultural constructs, economics, technology, and equity and social justice, are explored. This course is designed for students pursuing media-related majors and anyone interested in media-related industries.
