ENGWRT 0555 - PITT NEWS WRITING INTERNSHIP

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
Students writing for The Pitt News will work with an editorial advisor as they develop stories for The Pitt News. This includes developing and pitching their own feature stories that are local to both the university and Pittsburgh community; understanding news values and basic news story structure; interviewing for both in-depth and quick turnaround pieces; and writing clearly, concisely, and with brevity.¿ Over the course of the semester, students will meet once a week for an hour and discuss their stories, sources, and roadblocks in reporting. In doing so, they will discover gaps in news locally, and work to fill those gaps. As journalists, students will participate in, and work to better understand the community in which they attend school.
