Based on the single, themed class project show, various forms of writing pieces with a ‘Global South' perspective will be created for an international audience The expected output includes an in-depth web article exploring nuanced topics with thorough research, and a feature piece with embedded links to provide additional sources. Students will work collaboratively to mirror industry practices. We will also discuss the approach of online magazines and niche publications that appeal to the mass market.
