Introduction to Journalism offers you an opportunity to learn the news- and sports-writing skills that generations of students have mastered. On your first day, you'll memorize Jefferson's First Amendment to the Constitution and record it as your first TV reporting stand-up. You'll learn Associated Press Style and cover news on deadline. For your final assignment, you'll investigate and cover a long-form story, either in video documentary or magazine format.

Introduction to Journalism is required as the first course for Documentary Studies and Production majors, for Journalism majors and for Sports Media majors, and can serve as your introduction to classes in the Park School. To enroll, start here. Questions about this course? Please email Associate Professor Mead Loop.
