PR 180Q - Hofstra in NYC
This course will concentrate on various characteristics of the communication industry based in New York City including production, distribution and promotion of news and entertainment products, as well as advocacy of clients within the entertainment and information industries. Students will prepare for interactions with practitioners involved with talent and artist management, producers and creative departments, newsrooms and public relations representatives, and observe promotional synergies between corporations and production companies. The course approaches these interactions within a variety of professional settings, cultural visits, and meetings with experienced industry professionals. The course will begin in late-spring semester with four class meetings designed to inform students on the shape of these industries and prepare them for a one-week, Manhattan-based immersive experience. Student visits will include production studios, a radio station, TV and digital newsrooms, large and mid-sized public relations agencies, museums, and other related facilities. The course will incorporate readings from industry trade articles and other online resources.
