In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of editing for print and digital publications. Students will learn to edit copy, to exercise news judgment and to improve the flow and accuracy of stories. The course will also cover how to write search-engine friendly headlines, to utilize online tools for fact-checking and to execute compelling visual designs for digital and print. Successful students will develop an excellent understanding of AP style, hone their ability to improve copy and learn to navigate legal, ethical and production challenges. These skills are particularly important in the modern newsroom — where economic pressures have removed some layers of fact-checking and editing and forced traditional roles to shift and expand.prereq: [JOUR 3004 or 3004H], JOUR 3101, Jour major
