In the Fall of 2021, I took Media Writing for Audiences. The purposes of the class were to develop writing skills for different types of writing like news stories, press releases, marketing briefs, social media posts, blog posts, profiles, interviews, broadcast scripts, and events.
At the end of the class, all these skills were accumulated into one final project. This project consisted of 1 feature story on a topic of our choosing, a minimum of 2 interviews for the story, 1 visual element we created, and a 60-second broadcast script.
My topic was the publication of the Pentagon Papers and the way that they influenced modern journalism looking back 50 years later. For my visual element, I created a timeline.
