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.
