This course introduces students to the professional practices of reporting and producing news items for international news media. Students will examine news stories produced for global consumption and learn how international news production differs from local and domestic news production. They will become aware of the ethical dimensions and social implications of international news practice with a view to identifying references that are less socio-culturally centred than in local news.

(Note: Experienced journalists may be exempted from this course with the approval of the Programme Director. It must be replaced with an elective course.)
