ENG 336 Digital Journalism

4 hours 

Having studied fundamental journalistic principles and skills in previous journalism classes, students will learn how to apply them in this fast-changing communications era. In this class students will examine the latest technologies in multimedia storytelling and then put them to use in their own work during a designated lab hour. At the same time, they will conduct critical analysis of the cultural, social, ethical and economic impact of the Internet as a journalistic medium and the enduring importance of media literacy.
