Professional Strand – Journalism – 100 level – Elective

This subject is designed to introduce students to basic principles of professional journalism. The aim is for students to develop a critical awareness of journalistic techniques and practices and a solid grounding in the essentials of writing, research and reporting, interviewing and storytelling. Students produce their own reports and story ideas and are encouraged to develop an understanding of ethics and issues affecting the media and journalism, and to explore the relationship between journalists and sources and the implications of that interaction for rigorous reporting in the public interest. All students are encouraged to produce publishable stories. Skills are developed through a combination of reporting tasks and workshop activities.
