Notes
DescriptionCaulfield, South Africa, Sunway and off-campus learningThis structure of journalism prepares students for the professional practice of high quality journalism. It addresses all production technologies for journalism – print, video, radio and online – in metropolitan, regional and international contexts. It imparts advanced skills in research and communication for professional practice, fosters a critical understanding of the role of journalism and the media in contemporary Australian society, in all its diversity and dynamism, and is founded in the principle that robust and accurate journalism is an essential component of a democratic society. Graduates can expect to possess high order skills in professional practice and scholarly analysis that will enable them to find appropriate industry employment, and enter further study at a higher level as and when needed. Berwick, Gippsland and off-campus learningOffered by the School of Humanities, Communications and Social SciencesJournalism is in a period of dramatic change, driven by technological advances and a paradigm shift in how citizens consume (and even create) news. As newspapers confront the greatest challenge to their survival since their inception, the expanding world of online reportage is capturing global attention - and so the focus in this dynamic journalism program reflects the challenges of media industries. Students and the program adapt, reflect and move with these developments. The media play a vital role in the democratic system and rigorous journalism gives a voice to ordinary citizens as well as to the influential. As the fourth estate, it is an essential pillar of democracy. It has developed its own methods and practice, its own code of ethics, and a constantly developing body of theory to help understand the rapidly changing world of mass communications.
