About the Course:

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an introduction to Asian Pacific American print journalism through the actual hands-on experience of participating in the production and distribution of an APA newsmagazine. In order to achieve the aforementioned objective, students will research and develop story ideas, compose layouts, and distribute issues to students, faculty, and community members. Students will participate in weekly workshops that cover topics including APA history, health in the APA community, APAs in law and politics, and APAs in the media as well as current and pertinent issues in the campus, local, national, and international community (see calendar attached for a more detailed explanation of the workshops). As a 97/197 field studies course, students will receive an introduction to the local and campus Asian Pacific American communities by providing them with opportunities to meet community leaders, by attending and participating in community organizations and events, and by being a part of UC Berkeley’s Asian Pacific American Coalition, a coalition of APA organizations on campus. hardboiled not only produces over 3,400 copies per semester of a professional newsmagazine covering relevant, timely, and insightful topics, but also provides staff with a community of like-minded students active in the APA community. At the conclusion of the course, students will have learned the ins and outs of print journalism, increased their political awareness of APA issues, and received experience working within the APA community.
