CA127 Basic Reporting

CA127 Basic Reporting

This Unit complements Unit CA120 (News and Journalism), which you took in the First Semester. Unit CA127 goes deeper into the theory and practice of journalism. It aims to deconstruct what being a reporter exactly means and what are the specific day-to-day steps of this profession. The unit covers the news gathering process and production and puts special emphasis on the potential of the new convergent media. It aims to equip students with the necessary technical and critical skills, to become active producers of information and knowledge, in an increasingly interconnected global world. The unit also has a strong focus on developing analytical and practical skills and intends to encourage learners to think critically about media and their role as journalists. The content will be delivered by lectures, weekly activities, and discussions, and the students are expected to produce relevant journalistic material.

CA125 PNG History

CA125 PNG History

Students become acquainted with some of their country’s history and culture in this unit. They examine and discuss the achievements of their ancestors, the colonial experience and the most recent developments of the post-independence period. Students look at the experience and implications of being colonised, and the ways in which villagers, who became ‘Papuans’ and ‘New Guineans’ in the process of colonisation, were changed by the ideas, images and institutions imported by the colonisers. Students are encouraged to appreciate the struggles and the historical context through which PNG became a Sovereign Nation State. They explore their own identity as Papua New Guineans and their own position as mediators between cultures that are often still in conflict with each other.
