INVESTIGATIVE VIDEO REPORTING: The Children’s Story

MEDP 399.58 / IMA 780.58 / URBG 787.16
Mondays, 5:30-8:30, Room 436HN

This course will meld investigative and video reporting techniques to explore child welfare issues in New York City. The course, taught by this year’s Jack Newfield Visiting Professor, Barbara Nevins Taylor, honors the memory of late award winning, muckraking journalist Jack Newfield. In the Newfield tradition the class will investigate issues that affect the poorest children in the city. Our focus includes hunger, foster care, the juvenile justice system, homelessness and HIV/AIDS. The class will produce video reports to air on a professional platform.

IMA student Alexander Mallis’ short film

IMA student Alexander Mallis’ short film, The Dentist, is playing in a program of shorts this Sunday at DOCNYC.

The Dentist takes us beneath the sterile waiting room and nervous patrons, below Novocain and root canals, hidden from reclining chairs and squirming patients, to a decades-old secret underworld graced by adventurers from across the globe. The gatekeeper, an eccentric dentist, recounts the history of his practice above and passion below the floorboards.

Sunday, November 6th.
