Journalism is all about news and information. Journalists discover news and report it. It consists of gathering facts, deciding how to assemble them, making important decisions about which facts to include, and which to omit.
Journalism is also about analysing and interpreting events.
Journalism consists of practical skills and a wide intellectual foundation to give credibility to the reporting. Journalism needs knowledge of politics, the workings of government, local national and international, business and finance, history to put events into context, and many other areas as well. You ll also develop the skills of independent study, research, writing and analysis. To help you acquire this knowledge we use different types of study and teaching methods, including relevant theory and a substantial strand of practical work. You will acquire basic technical competencies, and discover some of the practices and problems involved in the practice of journalism.
