A new CDS Continuing Education course, Documentary Writing for the Web, is designed to explore a system of writing from a documentary foundation, especially crafted for students who wish to disseminate information through the blogosphere and develop a written body of work. Instructor Carl W. Kenney II will focus on the local community for material: “I’m sending forth folks to explore, report, and write untold stories in Durham. We are in the midst of massive change in the way information is extended—from traditional press to blogsphere—and I’m asking students to help change the way we do just that by equipping them to discover the real Durham.”
