Course description, features and facilities Prominent political journalist and Foundation Professor of Journalism, Peter van Onselen, working with other academics and acclaimed industry professionals will expose students to leading journalists and scholars, providing a combination of theory and practical experience. Students will learn, through the practice of news and feature story production, the ability to research across disciplines as well as to question received knowledge and to construct coherent, logical analysis of the contemporary social world. Today's media world is multi-platform and students work with print, television and online publication formats. Students will study in an environment that simulates industry, produce work for a real audience and on successful completion of the degree will have a portfolio of published pieces that will aid in their transition to professional practice.
