This course invites students to explore recent shifts in media technologies, institutional structures and the organization of publics that are affecting journalism's role in society. At the same time, the course will introduce you to the techniques of journalism in digital media and offer you conceptual and practical tools with which to join the fray. By the end of the quarter, you should have a clear sense of the various ways journalists have taken up digital media and a sense of how you might use those media yourself. You should also gain a broad understanding of the ways in which recent social and economic developments have changed both the practices of journalists and the nature of the publics with whom they communicate. The role of the journalist in the public sphere is emphasized -- journalism is unique among the professions in its responsibility to provide the information and context necessary for free people to govern themselves.
