How does investigative journalism impact change among individuals, local communities and global events? Stories have the power to change the world. In this course, we will examine how writing and multi-media storytelling in journalism have the power to impact change at local, regional and international levels. This course will introduce students to journalism that has had a mighty ripple effect, often around the world. Students will examine investigative and breaking-news journalism that has impacted individuals and global institutions alike. Once they have studied the work of writers who have effected change, particularly those of the African Diaspora, students in this course will have an opportunity to research their own investigative features and seek out ways to share them to make change in their own communities.
