JOURNALISM, THE LAW & SOCIETY
This course is designed to acquaint students with the basic protections and restrictions of the law as they apply to the media. First Amendment rights and legal responsibilities and limitations will be examined and discussed. The course will look at these questions from three viewpoints: from (i) the practical view of a journalist doing his job and (ii) from a legal perspective, all the while (iii) considering the rules in a public policy context: are they fair and appropriate in our society? Significant court cases and fundamental legal rules will be explored in the context of political and historical realities, and in terms of journalistic standards and practices; contemporary media law issues will also be focused on. Among the basic First Amendment issues which will be examined are libel, invasion of privacy, prior restraints, newsgathering and newsgathering torts, copyright and the reporter's privilege.

Transformative Storytelling: Crafting St
Transformative Storytelling is a blend of theory and practice, emphasizing the transformative power of storytelling in the way that stories are designed and shared. Throughout the course, we will explore how narrative medicine intersects with emerging technology and new modes of communication to create impactful digital experiences focused on health, care, and well-being.
Students will work in pairs to design and prototype a transformative storytelling experience that not only engages the audience but also transforms their understanding. This course integrates paired project work, mentorship, and cutting-edge technologies, fostering a dynamic, hands-on environment where story and code converge.
Over the semester, pairs of students will collaborate to design transformative storytelling experiences that combine storytelling, play, and emerging technology. The project will culminate in a presentation to a panel of subject matter experts during our final class, providing an opportunity to showcase their work and receive professional feedback. The course is modeled after similar labs that the Columbia University School of the Arts’ Digital Storytelling Lab has helped develop or mentor for organizations such as Sundance, Tribeca, and PBS, where storytelling becomes a transformative force through the innovative use of technology.
Note: This course is open to all students, and no previous coding experience is required.
