Writing and Speech
Participate in an intensive workshop in writing for television's magazine format. Over the course of five weeks, students write actual television news stories in this format, focusing on the most successful of the genre, 60 Minutes. Discuss ideas that contain the elements of a good story, create the pitch to present those ideas, and write the questions for the interviews of the people whose sound bites work with the narration to tell the story. Learn to script, structure the piece, make smooth narrative transitions and set up the sound bites, and even write the studio opening to introduce the piece. No previous TV-writing experience is necessary. Five-session Journalism elective.
