This subject teaches advanced professional practice for television journalism in a critical analytical context. Students are expected to develop further the skills learnt in Television Journalism 1 to produce work of broadcast quality. While certain journalistic skills are shared across the medium, this subject focuses on the processes involved in the preparation and presentation of television current affairs and features. 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. Students are encouraged to develop projects in areas of particular interest.
