COM 382 Digital Publishing in Greece May 24 – June 25, 2019

Join us for a special COM course as we explore the islands of Greece.

Fulfills upper-level communications elective for majors & minors
Open to all majors at Saint Joseph’s University, no pre-requisites
Travel and study in Athens, Santorini, Syros, and Crete and many other locations

Spend a month in Greece traveling, writing, and storytelling. The wide variety of digital media tools and platforms available allows us to share observations, research, and personal narratives with global audiences online. Using a variety of digital tools including 360 photography, video, audio, and social media, we will create a portfolio of stories for publication.

As we travel throughout Greece, we will develop projects for digital publication. Each project emphasizes skills essential to writing for the web: ﬁnding, framing, and pitching story ideas; research, reconnaissance, and ﬁeld recording techniques; the appreciation for and acquisition of story context; tools for evaluating issues of ethics; an understanding of story elements, organization, and assembly; writing, revising and editing for clarity and purpose; peer review and constructive feedback on your drafts; and finally, publication strategies for your work.
