Journalism is also known as the first draft of history, but amid this breaking news era, the stories we have access to lack root causes and context. In this class, you will enhance critical thinking to understand structural violence that has been normalized and will practice storytelling that discusses conditions such as sexism, racism, economic discrimination, gentrification, and poverty.
