JOU 401 Major Project in Journalism

Students will collaborate on a multimedia news project, utilizing the journalism skills and knowledge base gleaned from past classes, internships and practicum experience.

Students will determine the outlet's focus area; construct an editorial hierarchy to ensure its completion; develop a related website; create multimedia story packages; edit copy; and market the final product via social media.
