Current Special Topics
JRNL 180B - Sports Journalism and Social Media
In this class, we will examine and use social media to cover sports events and news. This does not mean the fundamentals of reporting and journalism will go by the wayside. Before you can understand 2022, you must understand 1962 and 1992 and the fundamental building blocks of how to report with accuracy. Social media have opened up many avenues to journalists, but there are skills that have been lost in the technological revolution that are critical to reporting and storytelling. In this class, the instructor is the editor and students are the reporters. This classroom will be treated as a newsroom and students will be expected to uphold newsroom standards.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Any course may be taken a number of times as long as there is a different letter designation each time it is taken. Not all Special Topics courses in Journalism are for liberal arts credit. Specific titles and course descriptions for special topics courses are available in the online class schedule.
