About this Unit
This unit explores the theory and practice of reportage. It examines the history of reportage in literary genres, as well as analysing the specificity of modern reportage through the examination of political, celebrity, travel, and food writing. As well as coming to understand the emergence and forms of this genre, students will have the opportunity to practice writing in these modes.
