These are a few of the questions addressed in "Fundamentals of   journalism," which is the gateway course for the Gallivan Program in Journalism, Ethics & Democracy. (Applicants should be sophomores or juniors who are interested in pursuing the five-course concentration in  journalism, and "Fundamentals" should be the first class in this sequence.) The “Fundamentals” course is held  on Mondays from 9:35-12:15, and you cannot take any other journalism classes before or during “Fundamentals of Journalism.” It is the initial course in the minor.
