Permission of instructor (tbettag@umd.edu). This course explores long-form journalism using stories from programs like 60 Minutes. We'll emphasize the art of reporting and storytelling. We will use video stories as our material, but this will not be a television production course. You will discuss and write about outstanding stories. Then, in most cases, you will discuss them with the reporters who created them.
