Notes
DescriptionCaulfield, South Africa, Sunway and off-campus learningOffered by the School of Journalism and Australian StudiesThis program in 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 critical 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 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 study program adapt, reflect and move with these developments. Students learn the vital professional skills required for a career in journalism, while also exploring broader issues of newsroom culture, the implications of technology on journalism practice, ethical journalism, and the media's influential role in the democratic system. Journalism 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.
