Making Headlines: An Introduction to Journalism Summer Scholars Session II

With the proliferation of digital media, the ways journalists reach their audiences are changing, but the profession’s fundamental principles remain steadfast. The Journalism track will offer an introduction to ethical principles and the opportunity to put them into practice. Students will learn by doing — reporting, interviewing, writing, editing and broadcasting on assignments that reflect the variety of stories that journalists produce every day. 

That experience will be supplemented with insights from working professionals and the study of award-winning work. Notre Dame’s Gallivan Program in Journalism, Ethics, and Democracy provides students with a foundation in the field’s enduring values, while offering first-hand multimedia experience to develop the skills necessary to thrive in an evolving industry.

Initiative, efficiency and creativity will be cultivated through independent fieldwork. Collaborative discussions about student work will generate feedback that nurtures the news judgment and storytelling skill that form the basis of good journalism across all media platforms.

Course Schedule

This course will be offered during Summer Scholars Session II (June 29 - July 13, 2024) on campus.
