ENG 313 - Workshop in Literary Journalism

3 Credit(s) W

A writing course in literary journalism requiring students to write assignments intended for publication on-line as well as in newspapers, periodicals, and books. These assignments, including profiles, book reviews, personal reportage, and journalistic essays, reflect the genre’s focus on journalism of enduring literary value, as distinct from the primarily quotidian value of news reporting. Works by professional literary journalists serve as models. Students critique one another’s work and place successful work in the college newspaper. Three lecture hours per week. Prerequisite: ENG 102, ENG 103, or ENG 106H.
