Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The major research project is an extended piece of research giving the student an opportunity to study in depth a topic or issue of their choosing, with clear boundaries achievable, and to produce a professional piece of independent journalism in a suitable format as negotiated with the supervisor.
The student will be expected to integrate newly acquired production skills and knowledge together with advanced research skills at Masters level. All knowledge and skills gained on the course should be applied to produce a highly professional piece of written and/or broadcast journalism, which is adaptable for a targeted outlet and therefore highly applicable and relevant in displaying an ability to multi-skill and produce and present across different media platforms. Examples include a series of online/multi-media features, a long-form radio documentary, a TV documentary, a series of print features for newspapers or magazines.
Additional Information:The practical project is designed to allow students to demonstrate mastery of a specific issue or topic within Journalism/Sports Journalism. Students will produce a written proposal and arrange regular meetings with their supervisor
