This unit enables students to experience contemporary media in print, audio-visual, public relations, or online settings. In consultation with the unit coordinator, students are assigned to industry placements in the commercial, government, or community sectors. Students build on skills and knowledge they have acquired in earlier units. They learn the ways theories of journalism apply to methods and practices in journalism and related occupations. They also develop critical insights to the profession of journalism in a rapidly changing and culturally diverse mass media environment -- Course Website
