Working with journalism students, they will explore and help create online, mobile, broadcast, print and social media news coverage in an attempt to increase relevance in non-traditional ways by pursuing issues or performing analyses that may arise from within their own academic specialites. In addition to scheduled class sessions, students may need to be available to work on electin night, Tuesday, Nov. 6th.

Students will learn a bit about the history and development of the documentary, as well as learn to identify, dissect and decode the key ethical issues of: bias, credibility, fairness, representation, privacy, production choices, the difference between documentary and propaganda, and funding and its influence -- all through analysis of the documentary. Students will screen many great programs that they have probably never seen before. Some may inspire, some may infuriate, but they will all hopefully provoke some response. After this course students will see the possibilities of documentary and television journalism in a whole new light. Professor Rosenstein is a Peabody and Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker who brings his many years of documentary production experience into the classroom.
