Berkeley Political Review: Introduction to Writing for a Political Magazine
Fall 2008 - Journalism 98/198 - Units: 2
Shortcuts: decal.org/804 decal.org/bpr
The Berkeley Political Review is a nonpartisan political news magazine that publishes news analysis, current events, opinion, and political humor. The publication strives to approach pressing political issues and events of the day with fair, balanced, and intelligent analysis.
This class will introduce students to the world of political reporting and writing for an audience. Specifically, students will learn about the processes of content development, writing, and production that go into creating a political news magazine. Over the course of the class, we will be discussing how to formulate and develop a story idea, the research and interview techniques involved in writing a piece of political news analysis, the basic mechanics of such writing, and the editing, layout, and other production processes that occur after an article is written.
Students will leave the class with two completed articles, and will also have the opportunity to publish their work in the magazine if they choose.
