WE WELCOME YOU TO THE DUKE ELLINGTON SCHOOL OF THE ARTS LITERARY MEDIA and COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT'S ISSUU PAGE Traditionally, a writer is viewed as the recluse who hides in the corner with ink-stained fingers, feverishly pouring his soul out onto scraps of paper. At Duke Ellington’s Literary Media and Communications (LMC) department, we train our students to work within an ensemble to become “citizen writers”. This collaborative process allows them to share ideas, exchange constructive criticism, and hone their individual talents. The modern writer must be able to move seamlessly between social networking, multimedia platforms, and the printed page, always anticipating the next innovation and ever mindful of how their words contribute to the world in which they live. From Shakespeare to Sanchez to Sapphire, LMC students are grounded in the best of all literature, placing their work on a cutting edge that is smart, sophisticated, and decidedly 21st century.
