St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia is now offering a business journalism course taught by Philadelphia Inquirer business reporter Joe DiStefano.
A story on the school’s site states, “Students enrolled in DiStefano’s course, Business Research and Reporting, will learn about the precarious financial state of the news media and how hyperlocal business reporting is fueling the engines of newspapers and local companies.
“At the conclusion of the course, DiStefano says he wants students to have a stronger idea of what kind of news becomes news. ‘For business students, this course will familiarize them with data and information commonly reported by the media. I want these students to learn how to evaluate this information and share it with others,’ he says.”
