Journalism.

Theory and Practice of Journalism. This course aims to give the
student such instruction and practice in journalism as can be given outside
of a newspaper office. Emphasis will be laid on the practical work of
writing. The work will be conducted by the study of texts: class discussions;
and daily practice in writing, either within or without the class
room. The course will cover the general news story; types of journalistic
work; the organization of a paper; the historical and social aspects of
journalism; and the analysis of standard dailies. The text-books will be
assigned.
