Course overview

  • Electronic Magazine, or Ezine, focuses on writing, editing and packaging magazine-length stories for the web. We'll study today's world of online journalism and put theory into practice by publishing three editions of our magazine online.
  • Student journalists in this course practice reporting stories of varied length, specifically for presentation on the Web.
  • The class is taught in a hands-on workshop atmosphere in an electronic classroom. Students will learn to use the following software: web browser interface, Photoshop, notepad and an HTML editor.
  • Students will also be required to report and write several original works of journalism.
  • Because of the heavy emphasis on writing, editing and web production, JRL 300Z (Intro to Journalism) and knowledge of HTML are prerequisites.
