Magazine Writing

This interest area uses an intra-disciplinary approach grounded in magazine traditions, theories and practices. Students learn the power of revision and learn to tell stories with frankness and intimacy. They learn how to use narrative storytelling tools: character, key moments, dialogue, telling details and place. The students learn to track the notion of the journalist as a savvy, articulate, thoughtful and emphatic witness of events. Administered by the magazine journalism faculty.
