Introduction to Digital Journalism (Canvas.net)

Offered by University of California, Irvine,

Digital technology is revolutionizing news delivery and the information demands of today’s audience are redefining the meaning of the word “news.” Get an overview of how to report the news and create digital content for an online publication. Explore the options journalists have to deliver news in a world where people control their news choices and can make their own media.

Together we will explore:

What continuous change means to the way media professionals think about story-telling.
What change means to the nature of the relationship between news provider and news acquirer.
How this change impacts; the role of the journalist, ethics and practice, whether the journalist works for a traditional media organization, is a freelancer, community blogger, or would-be news entrepreneur.

Delve into these questions, implicit and explicit, and identify fundamental and ongoing shifts. Gain an understanding of how to use social media, digital media, and original text to report content in a digital format.

Law

This seven-week course will explore the relationship between law and technology with a strong focus on the law of the United States with some comparisons to laws around the world, especially in Europe. Tech progress is an important source of economic growth and raises broader questions about the human condition, including how culture evolves and who controls that evolution. Technology also matters in countless other ways as it often establishes the framework in which governments interact with their citizens, both in allowing speech and blocking it and in establishing exactly what the boundaries are between private life and the government. And technology itself is powerfully shaped by the laws that apply in areas as diverse as copyright, antitrust, patents, privacy, speech law and the regulation of networks.
