In this advanced multimedia course, student journalists work in a newsroom setting, participating in all aspects of news production—text, multimedia, and digital media—while exploring new ways to tell stories. The course centers on local reporting in telling better stories in undercovered and underserved neighborhoods of New York City. Student journalists each select a particular neighborhood to cover as a beat for the semester. The course provides a form of local coverage missing from our urban communities: journalism street by street. Future journalists will have to be competent in critical thinking, listening, empathy, writing, reporting, and producing news across media platforms, while maintaining the core values of the industry. This course is a hands-on lab and field experience centered on the realities of a multimedia newsroom and city news coverage. The course incorporates and builds upon the skills students acquired in previous courses, such as News, Narrative & Design II, photojournalism, news video production, etc. The class will serve as a functioning news operation through its own digital news platform. The stories students produce through assignments for the class may be published on the site. The work must meet and adhere to journalistic standards and practices that uphold journalism as a public good. This course is designed for third- and fourth-year journalism majors. Students should have successfully completed News, Narrative & Design 2 with a minimum grade of a B and Ethics and History of Journalism. It satisfies the Reporting + Craft elective requirement for the Journalism + Design major.
