Short Description
For student writers, learning to conduct local research via one-on-one intervies, first-hand observations, and archival investigation provide numerous opportunities for developing information literacy skills. Such research places the students in dialogic interaction with source material and fosters a sense of thoughtful skepticism. This presentation will offer an overview of tried and true journalistic information gathering techniques and strategies, and will suggest ways that instructors can incorporate local research into academic assignments effectively.
