Six students in Intro to Journalism class published
Six students from Kristin Gustafson’s autumn Introduction to Journalism class got published in local, community news sites. The course centers around fundamental journalism skills in reporting, writing, and media critique. The version of the 200-level course that Gustafson teaches gives students hands-on journalism experience through engagement with online media and community newspapers. Students visited one of five local news organizations mid-quarter and then submitted original news articles by the end of the quarter to those same sites. The International Examiner published Sana Iqbal’s article, in January. The Bothell-Kenmore Reporter published Japreet Dhillon’s article and Aliah Kim’s article in January. And La Raza del Noroeste published Zarefah Baround’s (in Spanish ), Kubi Shek’s (in Spanish ), Ethan Silvas’ (in Spanish ) articles in December.
