We provide a range of cutting-edge digital skills to help our students investigate news stories and learn how and why good journalism matters by putting it in its wider cultural context.
Leading academics in the field as well as media professionals with substantial industry experience teach the participants.
Participants have the opportunity to work on a real-world news website (AV1 News) covering breaking news stories that really matter to the country.
Participants will also get to develop an arsenal of digital skills, and learn to integrate them with a core of essential reporting and news-writing skills.
Digital skills taught at the School of Innovative Media include: Video Journalism; Online Broadcast Production and a range of digital video equipment to support practice, including DSLRs, and ENG (electronic news gathering) cameras.
