This course will consist of reading the news and writing about it. At the beginning of the term, we will decide on several stories and issues to follow closely. One will be the presidential elections occurring that fall. Pursuit of individual interests will also be highly encouraged. Our premise will be that people write best about things in which they are intensely interested. We will adopt the conceit that we are the editorial and op-ed board of a newspaper, seeking to make sense of the news for our readers.
