Course Description

Have you ever wanted to understand the 'how and why' of the news? In this course you will investigate, report, and be involved in the production of a media product. You can report on areas of your choice, such as the arts, sports, gender and politics. You will learn the skill of investigative journalism, how to work to a deadline, and how to write and speak effectively to influence others. You will also analyse how the media has evolved in the digital age.

  • How is the news produced and how has this process evolved?  

  • What are the ethics of the news? 

  • What is bias and how do you write objectively?
