From legacy media outlets like the Baltimore Sun to new, nonprofit ventures like the Baltimore Banner, Baltimore's media landscape is rich and diverse. In this course, we'll study the media landscape in and around Baltimore City and ask essential questions about the nature of how the city and its people are depicted in news stories, features, interviews, reviews, and more. We'll read and write a variety of genres of reportage and gain practice in writing according to contemporary journalistic best practices and standards, assessing both the practical and theoretical considerations of "making the news."
