Dear JRN students,
I just wanted to promote Joe Sampson's 421A capstone course this spring. Being able to do audio and radio news has become increasingly important in an online news world. In fact, public radio is the only traditional news media audience that is still growing.
Students interested in taking two JRN capstones can also count one of them toward your creative category, so this might be a good course for juniors as well as graduating seniors.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Thanks.
RC

Journalism Students,
I sent this out on the JRN listserv Monday:
Looking for a way to get your reporting in front of a national audience and earn Miami's SL service learning designation? You can do both in Journalism 421A next semester.
The course partners with Cincinnati Public Radio (WVXU 91.7 and WMUB 88.5 FM) to create original reporting on air and online. In recent years, student reporting from the class has aired on radio stations in six states. Student reporting from the class has also been recognized at regional journalism competitions. You can see some examples from last year's class at:
http://www.wmub.org/student_features/
This year, for the first time, students will also earn the SL designation upon completion of the course. This designation will appear on DARS, allowing students to demonstrate to graduate schools and potential employers that they have experience in the community, putting theory into practice.
The class will meet Mondays and Wednesdays from 2-3:15pm.
JRN 202 is a pre-requisite. There will be regular regional travel (each within 30 miles of campus) for the class.
Questions, please ask.

Send me a paragraph on what you plan to do in the course ... a little promotion for the course. And I'll push it on the listserv. We have 4 capstone options this spring and that's probably one too many-- we probably should have done Cheryl G.'s class as a 350.
But we learn as we go along.

ok, thanks. I am concerned about the enrollment for the capstone (senior registration time block ends tomorrow) and right now only two students are enrolled and one is a pre-major.

Joe, I support this. Also let's talk about how to use Laws Hall money to support your spring class.

Richard,
I'd like to spend part of the upcoming semester having the capstone students explore/report on issues related to Butler County's growing Hispanic community. A contact in Miami's Latin American Studies program, who was most helpful when we did a series for WMUB three years ago in the initial capstone class, tells me that the following reporter lives in our area (her husband apparently teaches at UC). Good be a good person to bring to campus to talk and we could partner this with Latin American Studies Program:
