CMS 320 — Citizen Journalism on the Web

Communications

3 Credits

This course is a survey of three dynamically intersecting new types of journalism: civic, citizen and convergent. Students will explore why these types have arisen, how they may contrast with, be co-opted by and effect big media journalism. In addition, students will be instructed in the basics of civic, citizen and convergent reporting, and practice such through production of an online news site.
