Syllabus and Outline
In this class we're going to apply best practices in new media to our work as journalists. Through class discussions, assignments, and guest lectures, we will explore the theoretical and practical principles motivating citizen journalism.
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
* Identify their niche
* Apply basic technologies involved in citizen journalism (e.g. blogging, podcasting, social networking) to their work as journalists
* Read and write for the web
* Market and brand themselves and their work on the web
* Understand the economic motives of Web 2.0
* Understand the tensions between copyright and technology
If you have any questions or comments, you can email me at any time.
Best,
Matt Forsythe
