What’s it like to tell stories using a variety of different media? Competence in the use of new journalistic tools and the skill to shape content for rapidly changing formats are both essential for any communicator in the 21st century. This intensive introductory course is designed to teach foundational skills for students who have minimal or no experience in creating multimedia news packages. Using lectures, readings, discussions, guest speakers, and field work, we will guide students through an exploration of the elements and forms of multimedia storytelling, and teach skills in news gathering and story production. This course is part of minor program which has been approved for fall & spring.

This course will run completely online over six (6) weeks. Every week, there will be one (1) scheduled live Zoom session to attend, and five to six (5-6) hours of asynchronous content to complete, in addition to any outside reading or assignments.
