Reporting on Race Relations (E409)
In schools, courts, police districts, sporting events, immigration offices, and office cubicles, across the political spectrum and across the back fence, issues of race are undermining, redefining, even enriching the lives of the people journalists cover.

You'll learn how to report on the complexities of racial conflict in a way that keeps it in perspective and advances the understanding of your audience. And you'll learn to find the stories that are deep, honest, and authentic enough to touch people.
