Course objectives
Issue-Oriented Reporting This unique course, taught by an American journalist and journalism professor, will revolve around an exciting, semester-long reporting project that helps you better understand how journalists and editors think and operate, as they try to inform and educate their readers. You choose the topic – whether it be politics, economics, culture, the environment, human rights, etc. – but it must be connected to either Brno or its immediate neighborhood. Among the skills you'll sharpen will be how to: Generate serious, focused story ideas; - Master the "formula" of issue-oriented reporting; - Prepare through advance research, then determining the best sources; - Produce an accurate "snapshot" of the situation you're exploring; - Structure the entire article, from introduction to conclusion. And at semester's end, your article will be published - in English.
