A. FULL FOUR-UNIT COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this four-unit course, students will delve into the rich history of journalism and explore their civic responsibility by closely examining the First Amendment, with a focus on the Freedom of Press and Freedom of Speech. Alongside honing their writing skills, students will have the chance to develop their interviewing (Unit 2) and photography (Unit 3) abilities, equipping them with valuable experiences for their journalistic journey.

B. THE ROLE OF THE JOURNALIST
Student journalists, much like their professional counterparts, possess a significant power that necessitates a delicate balance between responsibility and ethics. Just as in the realm of professional journalism, high school journalism serves as a reflection of real-world experiences, carrying the same weighty responsibilities of fairness, accuracy, impartiality, and ethical conduct.

Exploring its rich history and the essential elements of story preparation, this course serves as the perfect starting point for learning the fundamentals. Topics covered range from journalism ethics and the criteria for newsworthiness to evaluating the credibility of news sources, recognizing the significance of the First Amendment, and examining the evolving landscape of news media in the Digital Age.

Be prepared for a rigorous and immersive experience in the fast-paced world of journalism. While this journey may be intense, it will also be incredibly fulfilling. You will have the opportunity to sharpen your writing abilities, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and develop a keen eye for news. This course will push you to your limits, but it will also be an incredible opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Get ready to challenge yourself, expand your horizons, and make a lasting impact with your words.

D. TEACHING/INTERACTION
