JO 502 A1 Graduate Symposium For all first semester graduate students. Jo 502 B1 Trauma Journalism JO 502 E1 Sports Storytelling In this course, we'll go beyond the game and focus on nonfiction sports features, learning from journalists, editors, producers, newspapers, magazines, websites, radio programs, television shows and first-hand experience. You'll go through the whole feature process, from pitch to final product. Along the way, we'll discuss different techniques for approaching, reporting, organizing and crafting sports features. We'll read, listen and watch examples of great sports features. Hopefully, you come away from this class with a better understanding of all sports coverage can be and encompass. And, as you work on your final project throughout the semester, you collect the skills and knowledge necessary to create compelling sports features. JO 502 F1 Global Health Storytelling GLOBAL HEALTH STORYTELLING marks our first effort to present an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to address core concepts in both public health and journalism, and to prepare students to make the truly exciting--but often untold--stories of public health available to a wide public. JO 502 G1 Podcasting The purpose of this course is to help students create highly produced, long form, episodic, narrative audio JOURNALISM that they will try to distribute to a podcast "network" or independently. It will also prepare students to work in a podcastunit for a journalistic enterprise. This is NOT intended for students to create a talk/rant/opinion podcast. Nor is it a course to create a podcast to promote a product/organization/business, (although if that is their intent professionally, they will learn valuable storytelling, technical and marketing/distribution skills in this course).
