STUDIO
JOURNALISM: ANALYSIS AND PRODUCTION
Welcome to the newsroom! This interdisciplinary course examines journalism as
a distinct intellectual and creative discipline that has served to document and
shape human history. Students learn practical journalistic literacy—from how to
be informed consumers of the news to how to be ethical producers of their own
work–through engaging in a variety of journalistic forms, from local news reporting
to long-form international magazine writing. Students engage in fact-checking,
investigation of biases, news analysis, and historical context research to develop
their understanding of our complex contemporary media world and the historical
events that lead us here. They develop practical skills such as interviewing,
researching, writing, revising, and producing their own pieces of journalism with
the goal of creating a polished portfolio of “clips” for professional use, including
a capstone “Spotlight” project of sustained work on a single, self-selected issue.
Students display their work throughout the year and publish on the Field News
website as well as at an exhibit in May.
Note: This course is open to 11th and 12th graders only. This course may be
repeated.
