COMM 300 - Magazine and Feature Writing


Credit Hours: 3
Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 0

This course works within journalistic standards to focus on the skills needed to write topical, in-depth, human interest stories. Students learn to gather materials through interviews, research, and observation while cultivating their own writer’s “voice” for the creation of comprehensive articles for publication in newspapers, magazines, Internet sites, and other media. Students will examine the discursive implications of magazine and feature writing, newspaper, radio, computer, polling, and advertising technologies. Students will assume a concrete understanding of editorial, sidebars, graphs, charts, and other supporting elements that enrich a story.
Prerequisite: COMM 215
