Chris - Third year, Journalism; “The first year started with the basics of learning how to tell stories fora variety of audiences and platforms. We also covered media law and looked into how journalists develop stories. Year two built on the skills we already learned as we made documentaries for both TV and radio and wrote articles for a group magazine that’s distributed around the city. In the third year, we’ve been producing content for radio and online in fast-paced news weeks. We will also be making our own magazines and running a marketing campaign.” 1st Year Research: The investigative journalist Journalism production: Recording the story Written journalism: The power of the word Live news: Get your mojo on Journalism production: Words and pictures Media law and the ethical journalist 2nd Year Research: Curious and creative Radio journalism: More than words Written journalism: Making Sound Learn to earn: Placement and proactivity Live news: Lights, camera, action!
