Newsroom
COM JO 734
In an unsettled industry, local nonprofit and independently owned news organizations are rising up in communities across Greater Boston. In this class, our students become reporters for these outlets, partnering with designated news sites to write high impact news and enterprise stories, almost always under deadline pressure. Students will see first-hand the challenges and triumphs of working in a newsroom, all while emerging with a portfolio of professionally published work.
