2. Course description This vocational course aims to develop your skills in developing your response to the six great journalistic questions, identifying suitable stories, and sourcing and researching stories. You will explore a variety of types of journalism and identify suitable writing styles and other treatments appropriate to those stories. You will also be expected to write for a range of platforms and consider how online writing differs from print-based media. You will be asked to demonstrate these skills through both practical tasks and written texts. By the end of the course, you will have developed a portfolio of your writing and a reflective log. You will also have evaluated your learning from visiting speakers.
