This advanced seminar teaches select students the practice of depth reporting and writing. Students use a variety of reporting techniques from computer database searches, public records requests to traditional "shoe leather" reporting -- in pursuit of long-term projects ideally destined for publication in one of several professional new outlets that have cooperative agreements with the 新闻 Dept, including WGBH News and The Boston Globe. Story subjects range from public system failures to questionable criminal convictions, from narrative reconstructions to explanatory journalism. Class is taught by Jenifer McKim, a BU Clinical Instructor of Investigative Reporting and Senior Investigative Reporter at WGBH News. 四学分，春季学期。 (本科先决条件: COM JO 200 and COM JO 210. 毕业先决条件：COM JO 721。)
