This course focuses on the practice of bilingual journalism in Latinx communities, which goes far beyond simply translating editorial content from one language to another. This class is hands-on and experiential, and as a result, students will do much of their work outside of the classroom. As the first in a series of two skills courses, this class emphasizes bilingual multimedia writing and audio production. Working in teams, students will conduct interviews, write audio scripts and produce podcasts or radio pieces in Spanish and English, and Portuguese, when applicable. Students will also write bilingual stories for the web to accompany their audio projects. Students will learn to exercise news judgment and ethical decision-making when covering Latino affairs in the United States and abroad. Students will be encouraged to look for new models of producing high-quality journalism. This class includes lectures, readings and practical experience in the field. To the extent possible, the classroom will function as a newsroom.
