Using journalistic approaches, multimedia tools, video, pictures, audio,
and blogging, learn how to tell gripping stories about yourself and
others. From narrating your grandfather's immigration to America to
becoming a keen observer of everyday life, learn to avoid navel-gazing,
create compelling personal narratives, and instill a sense of
perspective in all stories. This course also addresses how to articulate
your alter-ego or digital persona and how to define your "digital
voice." Projects include creating personal multimedia essays and a
participatory journalism assignment where you weave yourself into the
story you are telling. The course is designed for students who want to
create a multimedia personal story project as well as experienced
journalists learning how to individualize their reporting. Prior experience with digital editing software preferred but not required.
