Class Description
(This a DeCal course: Visit DeCal.berkeley.edu for further details and enrollment instructions) Journalism is a backbone of American democracy and provides an important check on democratic processes that affect the broader public. Journalists have an obligation to provide the public with accurate and important information.
This course is designed to equip students who are not familiar with journalism with the experience and materials to apply to the written editorial departments of The Daily Californian, or any other journalistic organizations. Throughout the semester, students will learn how to properly draft articles for different editorial departments. Students will both learn and write in various styles expected of the arts and entertainment, news, opinion and sports desks.
Because this course is designed for students without any journalism experience, an application will be necessary to gauge interest and background. Students from all majors and of all backgrounds are welcome to apply! The application can be found on the DeCal website.
Course runs 01/29 - 4/30
