JOU 371 Feature Writing

An advanced journalism class that focuses on writing longer feature stories of greater complexity than the news stories in JOU 271. Involves extensive writing assignments of the kind that appears in print or online magazines. Students will study important genres in those publications and learn how to complement their own stories with additional elements, such as sidebars, forming editorial packages. May count toward the humanities distribution in the baccalaureate core if not used for the journalism or writing major.
