Welcome!

This course is designed to equip journalists with the techniques needed in assembling and producing stories that can be published and distributed across integrated media platforms. Students are learning to write and edit reports for online media in ways that add value to stories and encourage readers to drill down into these news narratives for information worth knowing. Students are also developing an understanding of how newsgathering practices are evolving through digital media and the role of teamwork in disseminating these stories to an informed citizenry.

Troops coming home?

The report is in ... and it sounds like the 30,000 troop surge has "worked" and the "surged troops" will be home this time next summer, leaving the pre-surge number of troops in battle. So after a year of stretching our military too thin, we'll be ... back to square one? 30,000 fewer troops and the same ol' dysfunctional Iraqi government... are people really excited about this? Is this progress? A return to the status quo? When will we actually see the number of forces decrease from our initial deployment? When will the Iraqis decide to take charge of their own governmental system? 2 years? 4 years? Will it take a new sitting president and new congress to do so?
