JOU 304 Social Solutions Reporting

This course engages students in the local community through reporting on a important social issue as part of a semester-long class project. Students will use interviews, public records, databases, and other forms of research to present a thoroughly reported story that moves beyond simply reporting the problem. Instead, students will consider possible solutions by looking at how other communities have addressed similar social issues and to what success. This story will be presented through written text, photographs, videos, graphics, data visualizations, social media engagement, and other relevant digital channels.
