Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This is a one-credit pass/fail course. This one-credit course allows students to follow current events alongside a working professional international journalist. Each week students will read news from a range of media platforms and offer written reflections on what they have read. They will then engage in class discussions considering both the news content and how financial pressures, social media algorithms, professional journalistic conventions and other factors shape current events coverage across the world.
