Journalism Independent Study (4 credits)

Course description from learning plan:

Wade studied journalism as an independent writing project. He wrote a variety of articles related to his travel experiences and to the history and social and cultural contexts of the Morocco, France, and Portugal. Wade made the distinction between travel writing and journalism by giving particular attention to content of his articles, style and intended audience. His work is documented through his articles and an introductory essay.

This course will also consist of carrying out a journalism internship with Café Abroad magazine, and all of the duties that this entails: writing articles, restaurant reviews, work on city guides, as well as writing and editing unsolicited articles for various other magazines, such as Glimpse Magazine, and Abroad View. I will also focus on various aspects of preparing articles for publication, such as editing, revising, altering content, and shorting articles to meet the demands of publishers. Throughout all of this I will work closely with my editors and obtain a taste of what it is like to work as a professional journalist.
