EARTHSYS 210B: Senior Capstone and Reflection

Postgraduate course

Project description

Stories are how we understand ourselves and the world. This course will teach how to plan, research, report and produce a long-form, rich-media science/environment feature story. Students will work in groups or individually to master the blending of text with data visualization, photos, audio, and video. Teachers are experienced digital journalists at leading national and international publications with a close eye on trends and innovations in online, investigative, and data journalism. nnUsing the landmark New York Times story "Snow Fall" (http://nyti.ms/1eTyf3Y) as a departure point, the course will examine the questions: how do we engage and inform the public around critical environmental topics? nnHow do we explain complex and sometimes hidden factors shaping the future of our world?
