Video Community Reporting
COM JO 507
This class is about the stories that don’t start with the police scanner. They are the stories you find and develop. At their best, they have focus, strong visuals, compelling sound and wonderful writing. This is also the finishing school course that will launch you into your career. We’ll sharpen the skills you’ve learned at COM & work on long-form stories. I want you to start thinking and acting like professionals. Pay attention to the world around you. If you see it - shoot it. Look for the unanswered question and the story behind the headline. Focus. Be a storyteller. Bring all that you’ve learned to every project. We’ll work on content and presentation. The goal: Have you “Air Ready” in 13 classes.
