It develops core reporting and production capabilities across news gathering and writing, video, audio, digital and social media, while examining how media operate in different cultures and markets. The course also emphasises areas where a transnational perspective is important, such as business and finance journalism, and prepares graduates for rapidly changing digital journalism environments.

Career outcome
