Profile Interviews

In Broadcast Journalism you will explore the reporter's role in factual production across broadcast and electronic media. Topics covered will include research for audio visual media, writing for radio, television and the internet, interviewing techniques, script editing, and the principles of presenting for radio and television, and a practice-based assessment option. To realise this, students will be expected to undertake story design and conception, research, script editing, review and analysis. This subject aims to give students an appreciation of the multi-skilling required by convergence of television, radio, press and internet in the current media environment, and to develop skills in these areas.
