Students learn about a range of television current affairs and features genres including ones involving investigative journalism. Practical skills are developed in a context of an examination of the ethical concepts and codes of conduct particularly relevant to television journalism. Group work is undertaken along with individual writing and scripting exercises. Interviewing and presentation skills are developed to a higher level than Television Journalism 1.
