Is the Internet killing journalism's "great stories"? For decades long-form journalism has distinguished elite publications, attracted great writers and produced stories that deepen readers' understanding of issues. The course examines journalism storytelling and the impact of new technologies in print, on television and online. In an age of "viral" images, will narrative journalism lose its power? Do different forms of storytelling influence what kind of issues and subjects receive attention? Students will produce original journalism during the term.
