Community Based Journalism   3.00   01/09/2025   02/12/2025   Web/On-line Course

In conjunction with practitioners in the field, Ursuline has developed modular units on the theme of local and hyper-local journalism, demonstrating how students can utilize and activate their voices for positive change in their communities. The organization and content of the course is aimed at addressing the changing landscape of journalism and the precarious nature of our media ecosystem in the 21st century in which traditional forms of reporting are constantly challenged and underfunded. The class encourages students to understand that local journalism is vital to a healthy community, a vibrant democracy, and for cultivating engaged citizenry. Therefore, the course emphasizes that students, regardless of major, can use the skills of regional storytelling to fight for positive change. Prerequisite: EN 123/124 OR EN 125
