This advanced seminar teaches select students the practice of depth reporting and writing. Students use a variety of reporting techniques from computer database searches to traditional "shoe leather" reporting -- in pursuit of long-term projects ideally destined for publication in one of several professional new outlets that have cooperative agreements with the Journalism Dept, including The Boston Globe and Boston Magazine. Story subjects range from public system failures to questionable criminal convictions, from narrative reconstructions to explanatory journalism. Class is taught by award-winning journalists from the New England Center for Investigative Reporting. Four credits, spring semesters. (Undergraduate Prerequisites: COM JO 200 and COM JO 210. Graduate Prerequisite: COM JO 721.)
