Feature Writing

Prereq: (COM JO 308). Feature writing, for print and online--newspapers, magazines, websites and blogs. In a media world that is rapidly changing, the ability to write with verve and style has become more important than ever. Today, a post to a blog site--sometimes even a tweet--can bring a writer attention. With more and more outlets, there are more opportunities for original writing and talent to emerge. However, there is also more competition, and the writer needs to rise above that with skill and craft. The goal of this course is to help students develop that skill and craft. Along with the principles of solid reporting and fidelity to accuracy, we examine the techniques of creative non-fiction, including narrative, style, and voice. Students work on storytelling, voice, style, description, anecdote, pacing, and narrative. Part of the course is operated as a writer's workshop. Each student will email copies of selected work, which will be critiqued in-depth by the class as well as by the professor. 4 cr.

Journalism Special Topics

Topic for Summer 2011: Travel Writing: The Journalism of People and Place. Travel writing has a rich and lively tradition in journalism. It has been the source of some of the best nonfiction writing in recent decades. Among the widely divergent practitioners are Jon Krakauer, Bill Bryson, Robert Kaplan, Susan Orlean, Annie Dillard, and Tim Cahill. In the more distant past, the genre has cultivated many great writers: Graham Greene, Ernest Hemingway, Henry Miller, and Mark Twain. This course is designed for writers (undergraduate and graduate students, amateurs, and professionals) who travel, want to improve their writing skills and develop a fuller appreciation of the places they visit. The goal is to produce work of professional quality for newspapers, magazines, or possibly book-length works. It requires in-class and out-of-class writing assignments. The course mixes brief lectures with a seminar environment in which students read and discuss the work they produce for class. 4 cr.
