Welcome

Welcome to the future of journalism. The rate at which content is created is faster and more accessible than ever.  And there are no signs of it slowing down.
As prospective journalists, you will be the people gathering, dissecting, analyzing and publishing for the public. Your tweet can spread around the world in minutes. Your task is to make sure the information you transmit is correct.
The first time.
Once something hits the internet, it is next to impossible to bring it back. Which is why it has to be right when you hit the publish key.
We'll spend the semester examining how the content you consume is produced. From the user's perspective and from you, the creator's, perspective.
The world is moving fast. Keep up.
