Journalism
Punch

Sports Journalism
Train to be a Sports Anchor. During each class, we will produce a
half-hour episode of "Sports Summer", a program combining hard news,
feature stories, commentary and live guests. We will format, write, edit
and produce the show within the three-hour class time. Students will
get hands on experience on the Anchor desk and in reporting sports stories
from the field. Your resume tape starts here!
Multimedia Sports
Today's audience wants more than can be delivered through the straight broadcast or print story. In order to stay competitive, today's outlets are leaning heavily on young journalists with fresh ideas to get the rest of the story out. Learn how to take the
time-honored techniques of good storytelling and new techniques in multimedia - video, audio, photos and text - to the web with tools like Final Cut Pro, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Wordpress and other content management systems. At the end of four weeks, you will have a state-of-the-art web presence that will impress and entice future employers.
A panel of working journalists will join students in a discussion of a topical sports issue. The panel will be interviewed by the Director of the Institute, followed by a Q and A period by students.
