SCU Intro to Journalism
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: This story is from news outlets that serve "ethnic" audiences. How does it differ in its view of newsworthiness, choice of sources, or other elements from "mainstream" news?
Students witness and report on the ways in which American identity is shaped from the inside, within our communities, and from the outside, through the lens of news coverage.
This is the social news group for Sally Lehrman's Intro to Journalism class at Santa Clara University.
