Learning outcomes

The Journalistic Writing Laboratory is dedicated to the newspaper article in its different forms. At the end of the lessons the students will become familiar with the different types of journalistic prose (news, investigation, interview, reportage, article of custom, editorial, etc.) and will be able to write an original script that meets the requirements and standards of the text genre.

Program

LABORATORY ARGUMENT
Write a newspaper article.

CONTENTS
1. Analysis of the different types of journalistic article (news, report, interview, reportage, article of custom, editorial, etc.)
2. Identification of communicative, linguistic and expressive techniques adapted to the various types of journalistic writing.

TEACHING METHODS
Lectures (which will be delivered as far as possible in presence, but at the same time also in streaming and through video recordings) and exercises carried out through written papers.
The reading and guided analysis of significant examples of journalistic prose will be accompanied by the writing and discussion of articles written by the students. The texts used will be uploaded to the e-learning platform. Bibliographic references will be communicated each time during the lessons.

N.B. The course is reserved for attending students only. To take the final exam it will be necessary to have attended at least seven lessons out of nine. Attendance will be validated by the receipt by the teacher on the e-learning platform of at least seven articles out of the nine scheduled lessons.

Examination Methods

The final exam is reserved only for students who have attended the laboratory, face to face or remotely (both in streaming and via video recordings) and will consist of a written test. This test will focus on the forms of journalistic writing examined during the course.
Students will have to write a journalistic article of a specific type starting from one of the tracks proposed by the teacher; they will therefore have to demonstrate familiarity with the types of writing analyzed, trying, at the time of writing their article, to differentiate their style according to the topic dealt with, the communication purpose required and the audience to which the action of the information source is directed.
There is also an intermediate test, which will focus on the first part of the course and which will allow access to the final exam.
The evaluation will be given by the simple approval or not of the final paper (which will be uploaded to the platform at the end of the lessons) based on its compliance with the writing criteria highlighted in the course.
The evaluation of the final test will be followed by the verbalization of the outcome of the Journalistic Writing Workshop, according to the proposed calendar.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
