Students learn the magazine editorial and production process through the creation of a special issue of The Science Writer, the Science Writing Program's online publication. Working with the instructor and an editorial team comprised of JHU Science Writing alumni, students participate in every aspect of a modern editorial process, including choosing a theme for the issue, pitching articles or multimedia pieces, creating content, revising work based on the editors' feedback, and working with copy editors, fact-checkers, and web designers. Each student in the class is expected to publish at least one article in The Science Writer. Class guests will include editors and publishers of online magazines. No tech or design skills are required.
