This subject develops news reporting, storytelling and writing skills to a higher level than in 50234 Journalism 1. Students are introduced to the elements of broadcast journalism and develop an understanding of the similarities and differences between journalism produced for different media. Students do this within four-week rotations by working in three different media – print, television and radio – enabling informed choices about which one they may enjoy developing further throughout the rest of the degree. Students are encouraged to see themselves as reporters and an emphasis is placed on students developing a portfolio of published stories and in being able to produce work under pressure. In the context of their practical reporting, students critically explore the use of sources, journalism ethics and develop an understanding of news agendas and audiences.
