The aim of this course is for students to understand how international news developed into its current form, how it is practised today, the issues affecting it and its role and meaning in international society, politics and economy. Students will study the history of international news and examine the issues shaping it both historically and today. Students will also critically analyse milestone works of international journalism, including how they were reported and consumed by a global audience, to appreciate the diversity of coverage and approaches. Students will stay abreast of developing international news events and will learn reporting methods from professional international journalists, either through guest speakers or in media visits. Students will work in a group to create a creative presentation on a topic related to international news and reflect on international reporting methods in written format.
