ZUR 319 Group of Experts – Narrative writing
Annotation:
In modern journalism narrative writing is getting increasingly important. In this seminar we will study the reasons oft hat, learn about how to find good issues for narrative journalism and about techniques how to produce good and exciting written stories. In between March and May students will have to work on and to write a narrative print story for either a magazine or a newspaper. In the second part we will read and discuss all these stories, learn about their qualities and their mistakes and, if necessary, rewrite them.
Goal:
Narrative writing is becoming increasingly important in print journalism as news are no longer exclusively and mainly spread by newspapers but by television and internet. The goal of this course is to understand why and how narrative writing can be a chance for print media to survive and even assure increasing importance within mass media. Students will learn what issues are suitable for narrative writing and how to reasearch and write such stories. This theoretical part will be partly based on studies in the German and English speaking market and partly use Czech media as a basis for developping and discussing potential themes for our practical work.
Osnova
  • Structure:
  • In March we will mainly focuss on theory but also start developping our own ideas for narrative stories to be researched and written (in English language) between March and May. Each student will leave the March lectures with his/ her own theme and a structured plan for research and writing.
  • In May we will discuss the results, analyze and restruture them and re-write the stories if necessary. The stories can, of course, be written in Czech first and then get translated.
  • Literature:
  • Please, individually find out about prize winning narrative writing in the US and in Britain as well as in the Czech Republic over the last decade. Print out at least two prize winning feature stories and present them in the seminar together with the jury's judgement.
  • Please read (1) "Telling True Stories: A Nonfiction Writers' Guide" from the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University by Mark Kramer and Wendy Call and (2) "Inside Writers Mind Journalism: Writing Narrative Journalism" by Stephen G. Bloom.
