Journalism and Ideas

Journalism is not exclusively about news, sources, interviewing, researching and fact checking; it also explodes new ideas into the world. This course examines how journalists and media have packaged new concepts for wide audience dissemination. Using examples, students investigate the possibility that journalism itself is a strikingly efficient cultural tool that spreads ideas quickly - ideas that often mutate as they are being mediated.
