CEL Courses Offered Summer 2021
Reporting the Bronx
This intermediate-advanced level journalism course will focus on the creation of content about the Bronx for the Bronx community. In this service learning course, students will be paired by the instructor with a Bronx media organization and spend most of their course time creating multimedia content about the borough, appropriate for that outlet. Weekly class meetings will focus on advanced writing and multiplatform reporting techniques that are appropriate for public service journalism. Students will also have required individual meetings with the professor to go over stories and review the student’s work experience with their client organization. Four-credit courses that meet for 150 minutes per week require three additional hours of class preparation per week on the part of the student in lieu of an additional hour of formal instruction.
