This course centers on various elements of editorial thinking. How are stories conceived, assigned, and improved through best practices of the editors? We'll read, watch, and listen to feature stories presented in print and digitally across multiple platforms. Focusing on the editorial identities of half a dozen magazines, we will compare and contrast strategies employed in compelling storytelling.
