Course Code
Academic Year
This course builds on the skills of Specialized Content 1, going in depth to produce long form items, focused on one aspect and angle of a specialty, to be posted to a website. Students analyze current journalistic websites dedicated to in-depth content, and use advanced editorial and production skills to create content that is feature and current affairs oriented, rather than driven primarily by daily news. Working in groups, with student editors overseeing content and production, students produce text, video and audio items for websites dedicated to one aspect of a specialty. Students also produce images, and value-added elements, such as timelines, and online polls. Specialty areas include sports, entertainment and the arts, life and style, as well as business and technology, health and science, and religion and spirituality.
