COM 273 - Reporting Politics and Elections

Students wanting to better understand our contentious political era have a unique opportunity to explore how politics intersects with criminal justice efforts. Students will learn the basics of solid, ethical journalism and on-the-ground reporting. That will include reporting on issues such as race, inequality, health care, hyper-partisanship and interviewing city, county, state and national-level officials to craft pieces for potential publication online, The Davidsonian and other local media outlets.
