53-3521 Virtual Newsroom Workshop

Virtual Newsroom puts students in the role of community reporter, editor and online publisher. Students gain experience in one-man-band and entrepreneurial endeavors as they find, report, write and post digital stories to ChicagoTalks.org. They learn how to operate the dashboard of the site, and study site analytics, SEO, and social media traffic in order to increase audience engagement with the site. Non-journalism majors may take this course after a portfolio review and permission of the instructor.
