This subject develops skills in research and reporting and introduces editing for online and print media.

Students are introduced to basic skills and strategies for the editing and publishing of stories for publication. They learn to shape stories for specific audiences by writing introductions, headlines, captions and adding links and other online elements. Students develop an appreciation of the importance of accuracy and clarity for publishing and consider ethical and legal implications that arise during the publishing process. Throughout the semester, students develop their ability to critically analyse contemporary news and current affairs practices in local and international contexts. They publish reflections on their own and others' journalism practice in their ePortfolios. On UTS's NewsDay, students research, write and edit stories to deadlines in a newsroom environment.
