This class introduces a more personal side to journalism. Rather than reporting on national and global events, we will focus on telling unique stories of the people around us. We will consider the purpose of narrative journalism, discuss the context of a stand-up clip by South African comedian Trevor Noah, and even begin to craft our own articles.
