Students will design their own program topic, with the approval of the instructors and the student producers. Students should begin researching the final topic after the first two weeks of the quarter. You will be expected to keep up with all of the reading assignments from both the textbook and class handouts. You must budget for transportation. Each student pays the cost to travel to a story.
Public transportation is close.
No student is required to cover any story out of the downtown area, except for the Final Project. If you have the budget, you may want to travel by cab or personal car to stories, but this is not required. If you plan to travel by cab, budget accordingly. It can be expensive. If you have a car, downtown parking is available, at a reduced rate through the university, provided you do not live within a two-mile radius of the downtown campus.
