Handbook description

This subject introduces specialist genres and 'rounds' in journalism. Students are introduced to investigative research techniques within specialist rounds such as environment, health, technology, arts, sports, law, media, business and politics. Students form reporting and editing teams around specific rounds. By developing their own chosen round and monitoring how the round is covered by professional journalists they develop a critical understanding and ability to develop relationships with sources, produce interactive journalism for specific audiences and work in collaborative teams. Students build their own ePortfolios and specialist reporting teams contribute to the UTS Media Hub by producing work using a range of media forms.
