This course aims to equip students with the tools needed to create works of journalism across platforms. Students will report and create story packages using text, audio, video, photos and graphics and also edit stories using relevant software for distribution online, including websites and social media. This course will foster students' story-telling and critical-thinking skills as they learn to choose appropriate platforms, integrate multimedia content and apply traditional reporting methods to new technology. Students will also create an online portfolio of original journalism work to be used throughout their four-year studies, in particular when applying for internships in year three.
