Course Description
This Honors course will introduce students to the story behind the story of the nation's greatest newspaper. The New York Times will serve as the text for this class, along with several books about The Times and the media. At the end of the semester, an optional trip to New York will include a visit to The Times at its new headquarters at Eighth Avenue between 40th and 41st streets. We will also plan visits to \"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart\" and to the \"Today Show\" at Rockefeller Center, meeting UA alumna Savannah Guthrie.
The course is intended to help future leaders in journalism, political science, law, the arts and the sciences gain news literacy, an important complement to critical thinking. They will also be able to describe and explain global changes, cultural and social trends and domestic politics. And they will get an insider's look at how The Times is produced every day and the challenges it faces in a digital world.
