As arts journalism continues to migrate from print to online media, the distinctions between entertainment and art have begun to merge, and the boundaries between professional journalism and promotion have blurred. Yet the task of the arts journalist remains an important independent voice for developing arts literacy on print and digital platforms. This course will not only develop practical and critical thinking needed to write about the arts as a journalist but will also do so via digital approaches to arts coverage. Accordingly, students will be immersed and engaged on a variety of platforms to produce relevant journalism about a wide variety of arts for 21st century readers.
