On this module, you’ll develop your existing knowledge and skills, focusing on audio-visual media and a variety of audio-visual journalism platforms.

The concepts you’ll explore focus on the similarities and differences between:

• news and features production

• participatory and inclusive journalism techniques for audio and vision

You’ll develop your practical skills of information gathering, writing, interviewing and storytelling and apply these to audio-visual outputs. You’ll also explore ethical issues in audio-visual journalism and critically reflect on your practice of audio-visual production.
