| Syllabus: | This intensive production unit develops and extends the research, interviewing and writing skills gained in Introduction to Print and Print News Reporting. Students develop their own feature story ideas and write engaging and relevant features of publishable quality for the Western Independent newspaper. The unit explains and evaluates the different forms, styles and structures print features can take-news features, investigative features, profiles, travel features, essays, literary journalism-and analyses of some of the best non-fiction writing from which students can learn. It explains the importance of and encourages a reflective and ethical approach to researching and writing feature stories, and promotes knowledge and understanding of: the similarities and differences between non-fiction and fiction writing; research methods and sources; the different approaches to writing features for different publications and different audiences; and the complexities in the journalist-source relationship. |
