The First Rough Draft of History [Rebecca Morris]

Introductory / Intermediate | Ben Bradlee defined journalism as “the first rough draft of history.” There has never been a more important time for good writing, in print, broadcast, and books, as well as essays, blogs, and podcasts. Topics include narrowing a topic; surveying the market; conducting research; interview skills; story-telling techniques; and the importance of facts, details and deadlines. Students are encouraged to begin the course with an idea for a newspaper or magazine article, a book, or topic for a blog or podcast.
