This unit aims to train potential journalists through practical experience. The practicum mostly involves operating as 'working journalists' and includes a limited number of traditional classroom sessions. The print component of the unit includes journalistic research, writing a lead, structuring stories, news pieces, features, opinions or investigative stories, as well as editing and sub-editing. The digital component focuses on online written journalism. An online site functions as a public store of student journalism. -- Course Website
