[quote=Anonymous]I learned more about crafting good, well-reasoned prose in history class than I ever did in a journalism class. History courses in college are *fantastic* for writing papers and essays under pressure (midterms, final exams) that require sourcing and working facts seamlessly into the narrative to support your main points. It was invaluable to me. Not too long ago, a teenager asked me what classes to take in high school and college to become a journalist. I said history, history, history. Work for the student newspaper, too. I highly recommend taking a history course in college, even if you are a STEM major. History class is where you learn to write.[/quote]
