Community Journalism @ Ashland.news

Community Journalism @Ashland.news will explore the practices of community journalism, describing how it helps provide the information “oxygen” to facilitate democratic, economic and social vibrancy in a community. Students will also learn how stories and photos are assigned, reported and prepared for publication. This course also teaches techniques for gathering, writing, editing and publishing factual information about the citizens, events, politics, economics and culture of a localized area — all intended to enhance a community’s quality of life. Participants will formulate a reporting plan to supplement future editions of Ashland.news and prepare stories and photos for publication. Beginning the third week, students will gather news in the field, reporting or photographing, writing and doing preliminary editing of one another’s reporting — all with an aim for publication. The reporting cycle will be repeated three times.
