This course aims at enhancing students' skills in conducting research, writing, videography and broadcasting, and will have two focuses. The first is to refine the skills necessary to produce a newscast, including live reporting, reporting fast-breaking news, serial reporting, multiple-location production and covering the local implications of world news events. The application of traditional broadcast journalism skills in the social media era, such as curation of audience-generated content, audience engagement and crowdsourcing, will also be emphasised. The second is to develop students' ability to produce a four to five minutes long video-based news stories independently. Run concurrently with the practicum courses, this course will prepare them for their internships and honours projects.
