Literary Journalism Added

News flash!

Deb Sprong of the Elkhart Truth, who previously taught this class, has agreed to be with us the night of Monday, April 13 and to take a significant portion of the evening to discuss "Literary Journalism."

You'll get a specific reading assignment to prepare for it, but I would also encourage you to do a little general research to see how that term is used and what questions or thoughts you might have as she presents.

We also now have an additional student in the course, so we'll adjust the syllabus a little bit. I'll issue an updated syllabus after we have more specific assignments nailed down.

Come tomorrow night (January 26) prepared to share your thinking on the article subjects you have chosen, your progress in arranging the shadow-a-reporter day, your selection of a book to review (I'll bring several more possibilities with me) and your choice of a disgraced reporter, as we hear Julie and Octavia report on theirs.

Remember the change I noted earlier--next week (February 2) we will attend, as a class, the fire district hearing at the Warsaw City Council. We'll discuss transportation arrangements this week. See you tomorrow night!
