Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this Columbia College Chicago Catalog; however, the Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
The course helps students refine their reporting, interviewing, researching and writing skills as they conceptualize, pitch and produce journalistic stories. Students further develop critical-thinking skills as well as the use of social media for newsgathering and storytelling. It emphasizes precision and clarity. Equipment is required for this course.
