DESCRIPTION
Investigative reporting is a demanding journalistic field that requires a combination of ever-changing digital research skills and old-fashioned shoe leather reporting. This course aims to introduce students to both components, so they could decide whether investigative journalism is the right path for them. They will learn about various types of tools available to investigative reporters and probe them in class assignments. The class will also engage in discussions about ethics related to investigative reporting, including source protection, use of hidden cameras, whistleblowing, and weighing in source intentions. Students will work in teams to report and write a final project either on a topic of their choice, or assigned by their lecturer.
