Program Overview

Our Journalism and Politics short course critically examines contemporary trends in British mainstream and alternative media - from print and radio to television and online. Key issues to be explored include:

  • the social construction of news values
  • freedom of speech
  • globalisation of the news industry
  • the culture of journalism
  • the impact of postmodernism
  • the 'tabloidisation' of political and current affairs journalism
  • the ethics of war reporting
  • gender
  • the impact of new technologies
  • satire.

    • Assessment is via a presentation (20%), 2000-word essay (30%) and 3000-word essay (50%).

    This can be taken as a standalone short course or as a part of:

  • Film and Media Studies (Certificate of Higher Education)

  • Journalism (Certificate of Higher Education)

    • 30 credits at level 5
