Home>Academic Catalog 2024-2025>Course Catalog>

Media Practicum: Reporting Conflict is as close to a real-life newsroom experience as most students will come during their time at university. This course prepares students to play the role of journalists covering an international crisis. A weekly class will teach you the multimedia skills and the journalistic skills (press briefings, reporting, broadcasting and social media) needed to cover a simulation of military intervention organized and operated by the French War College (Ecole de Guerre) with civilian partners.
