    Overview

    This course will analyze and discuss examples of current and historical journalism, learn about journalism ethics, and explore the journalism industry. 

    Applications for summer 2025 open November 15, 2024 and close by March 15, 2025.

    There can be no democracy without journalism — it’s why freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment. But what, exactly, is journalism? What are the qualities that make someone’s writing, audio, or video a piece of journalism instead of a piece of product marketing, opinion, misinformation, or propaganda?

    If we can’t answer those questions, we can’t ensure our democracy will last. And as members of Gen Z, the first generation to have grown up entirely with the internet, you have unique insight to aid you in pursuing those answers.

    During our two-week session, you’ll analyze and discuss examples of current and historical journalism; read, watch, and listen to a variety of contemporaneous journalism; debate journalism ethics; meet, talk to, and ask questions of professional journalists; and do your own reporting both on-campus and off-campus during class field trips. You’ll get to focus on journalism that covers a wide range of topics, from politics to sports to entertainment to fashion. And you’ll have fun doing it all.
