JOURNALISM AND MEDIA STUDIES

The purpose of this course is to build students in the world of broadcast journalism. This course provides students with practical skills in the field of journalism and future journalists will be expected to enter the profession with a ‘grab bag’ of skills across the written and oral modes, and will also be required to produce ‘packaged’ stories for publication on a variety of platforms and practice professional journalism. The area of broadcast journalism will provide students with hands-on experience with internship with some renowned radio and television stations in the country. It will also expose students to deadline-driven tasks, set to emulate the intense and demanding working environment of multi-skilled journalists. Legal, professional and ethical issues in relation to broadcast journalistic practice will also be discussed. Experts from the media fraternity are also invited as guest lecturers to come add additional professional touch to the students’ career. Students will grab excellent skills on how to write news stories, editing grammatical errors in news items and casting or anchor news professionally after which they are required to go out and cover issues of social concern, write their own news stories, edit the stories by themselves and cast the news in front of camera in the school’s own studio under the supervision of our team of professionals.
