JRN 421C – T, R 5-6:15 p.m., WIH 115C
Instructor: Joe Sampson
Title: Fact or Fiction: A Survey of Contemporary Literary Journalism
The course will wrestle with questions such as, What is a “fact”? What is 
“the truth”? What’s the difference between the two? What is the reporter’s 
relationship to and responsibility toward “truthful” and” factual” 
storytelling?  By combining distinct elements of traditional journalism and 
nonfiction prose, Literary Journalism offers a unique opportunity to 
examine and debate these intriguing questions.
