Digitial Media and Journalism

A broad-gauged course that explores web journalism and the business models which support it. We will study how editors and publishers develop journalism and business models as well as strategies for news and information web sites. Students will examine the evolution of print-digital newsrooms, use of digital story-telling and web site product development issues. The course will also examine digital advertising and marketing strategies as a means to support online journalism. Both journalism and business case studies, as well as outside speakers, will be used to study journalism issues and web product development strategies.
