JOUR 486 - Media Narrative Project Credits 3 Students in this mastery-level course will explore in-depth a topic using a team approach that moves their inquiry from a core idea into a multi- part exploration that, by the end of the semester, becomes a finished book published by the department through on-demand technology. Book topics will vary, but urban and cross-cultural themes will be emphasized, pointing towards the needs and solutions being sought to help the marginalized and alienated within and around the American evangelical church and/or internationally. Projects will include reporting through written and visual form, and as needed, video storytelling and web development that enhances audience understanding of the book's topic. Grade Mode: A.
