FYS 1160 - Journalism in the 21st Century

Credits: 4
Interested in what makes the news media tick? In this class you’ll get an up front and personal look at more than a dozen journalists who visit the classroom and field your questions and comments. Last year’s lineup included news reporters, editors, sports columnists, bureau chiefs, and photographers from the Baltimore Sun, Washington Post & Carroll County Times, among others. Plus, from TV news, the news director for a Baltimore station, a prize-winning investigative reporter, and an anchor for a Fox News station. And that’s not all. You’ll also read a collection of unforgettable newspaper articles by a former Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the New York Times. By the end of the semester, you’ll know why this course is called the “real” story of journalism.
