CMM 301W - Reporting Hartford

3 credit(s) Writing Intensive
This course is operated as a student-led, community digital news publication and newsroom within the School of Communication. The digital news website named Reporting Hartford will operate as a hybrid educational lab and community journalism entity, dedicated to producing high-quality, non-partisan, public-interest journalism focused on the Greater Hartford and surrounding areas. Student-reporters will cover events, people, and issues that directly impact local residents and community members including local business, social clubs, recreational/educational institutions, and neighborhoods around the Greater Hartford area. Students will immerse themselves in reporting the relevant operations and decisions of local governing bodies involved in revitalizing and maintaining the social, cultural, and economic wellbeing in this community. The publication aims to serve as a platform that honors and highlights the multiculturalism in the Greater Hartford community, which has largely remained absent from mainstream news coverage.
Prerequisite(s): CMM 250W.
