COM 310 / DSSA 300: Applied Journalism / Self and Society - South Africa 20 Years after Apartheid or COM 550: Media and Culture “Field Work” - South Africa 20 Years after Apartheid

Cape Town, South Africa

Situated on the southern tip of Africa, Cape Town is a vibrant multicultural city with a rich selection of day and night activities. Water sports, mountaineering, nightclubs, and restaurants are readily available. The city is also a microcosm of the challenges facing many African countries in transition—how to successfully operate within a global economy while grappling with the vast socioeconomic inequalities that are the legacy of the colonial and apartheid past.

Why Go?

Live the life of a foreign correspondent on assignment in Cape Town, South Africa. Apply the journalism theory and techniques while covering the 20th anniversary of the end of apartheid. Under the supervision of Lynn professor and former network news producer Martin Phillips, prepare riveting print and video stories revealing the changes experienced in this diverse nation over the past 20 years. Explore townships and settlements, unionized farms and fishing villages and uncover the stories of non-Europeans, African and Mixed-Race People and report on whether they are better off today than under the apartheid regime.
