Journalism

Your News Writing 101 lecture kicks off with a deep dive into AP style and crafting compelling leads. You furiously take notes, trying to internalize the inverted pyramid. Later, in your Media Ethics discussion, you debate a thorny scenario about anonymous sources. Afterwards, you catch your professor outside class, asking for clarification on a reading about libel law; they offer a quick, helpful example. You grab coffee with a friend, discussing the ethical dilemma before heading back to the dorms to outline your first feature story idea, due next week. It's a lot of information, but exciting.
