This course focuses on improving your writing. You will carefully consider beautiful writing by some of the greatest journalists of all time - and use their techniques to improve your work. We meet Ida B. Wells, who founded a newspaper exposing racism ignored by most media. We get to know Palagummi Sainath, the most famous journalist in India today. We consider the work of Joan Didion, Martha Gellhorn, Peter Gzowski, and many more. In this course you will gain a strong understanding of journalism's honourable legacy. With great journalists as your guide, every week you will work to improve your own writing.
