This class will take students through a critical review of how news and information flows in society today, how that is continuously changing, and what it means about how journalists and news organizations should alter routines and practices and while defending foundational principles. Students will think about their own goals as news practitioners, their habits as consumers. Ultimately, they will draft a set of principles and practices and a statement of values for a news organization that they would lead, applying the critical thinking and historical review learned in the class.
