This course will equip students with the all-round skills and knowledge needed to build a career as a journalist in magazines, whilst providing them with a deep understanding of the wider publishing business. First and foremost, students will learn how to write, whether it’s an in-depth interview, a sharp news story, a daily blog or a snappy photo caption.
Students will learn how to report, research, interview and edit news stories and features. Using Adobe InDesign, students will develop an understanding of how to plan a page with text, photographs and graphics, sub-edit copy, and write a compelling headline.
Students will get to grips with mobile journalism, using a phone or tablet to record video and audio, and learn how to edit their material into packages. On newsdays and newsweeks, students will produce websites and magazines, working with WordPress, the storytelling platform Shorthand.com, InDesign and Photoshop, as well as creating content for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Students will also examine the business side of magazines and have the chance to pitch their own idea for a new title to a panel of industry professionals.
To underpin their journalism practice, students will gain a solid grounding in media law, public administration and ethics and regulation. Students will also have the opportunity to develop shorthand skills to the NCTJ standard.
