Note to Journalism minors: this course satisfies the requirement for an elective with a critical" orientation."
This course allows students to study, and gain practical skills in, the craft of environmental journalism. In the first unit, we will learn techniques for conveying complex scientific information and ideas to readers. In the second unit, students will explore how to write about social, economic, legal, and political aspects of environmental issues, including environmental justice. In the third unit, students will learn techniques of the emerging practice of solutions journalism, including how to report on and evaluate positive stories of solutions without falling prey to hype. Assignments will build toward a final project that integrates these skills into a finished piece.
