Course Description
This course will begin with a selective overview of the history of documentary journalism beginning in the 1920s. The aim of the course will be to familiarize students with a multi-cultural global perspective of documentary work by comparing and contrasting efforts from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and North America. The documentary genre has long focused on social, cultural, political, economic and environmental issues. By emphasizing a global comparative viewpoint of these issues, students will come away with a broad perspective that no longer emphasizes a media environment solely driven by western points of view.
