Prof Newton is literally one of the kindest professors I've ever had! Super willing to help! Had some tech trouble getting lectures up on the site and tried very hard until he got it right and we could access the recordings, appreciated the dedication. Also had really great lectures that were easy to follow, midterm and final followed material covered in class!

Professor Newton is the best professor I've had at UCLA in my three years. He is incredibly engaging and really cares about his students and is willing to explain things again to them or meet in office hours whenever. I highly recommend taking this class. The course content is super interesting and relevant, definitely a class I'll take with me for years.

Also Professor Newton sounds like Tom Hanks. Haha.

I loved this class! I can’t recommend Prof Newton enough, he is probably the kindest and most understanding professor I have had at UCLA. The class itself covered some interesting topics about ethics in journalism, and his lectures were always well put together and kept me engaged. He encouraged participation and would also ask follow up questions which were surprisingly great to get a discussion going and I actually ended up learning a lot from my classmates’ perspectives and opinions which is rare honestly. If you have an opportunity to take Prof Newton, definitely do it!! It’s an easy class but one that actually feels rewarding. One thing to note is that he lists a textbook on the syllabus and has chapters assigned for certain weeks but you don’t need the book at all and you’ll be fine just reading the articles he links on the syllabus.
