J201 Advanced Reporting: Community Sites

We’ll use the Hyperlocal websites as a vehicle to explore community-based storytelling while tackling more complex reporting and story concepts. We’ll work on advanced writing concepts like voice, language and personal style, as well as some of the trickier nuts and bolts of narrative reporting. We’ll tackle how to report using very specific kinds of information, like assembling a story based entirely on documents, or basing a story on a first-person experience.
