Students are introduced to radio, television and online audio journalism. Students
are introduced to broadcast equipment, such as microphones and cameras; they learn
how to record voice, how to perform basic broadcast editing and how to produce audio
packages. Students are introduced to the basics of camerawork and of how to present
stories in a visual way. Tutorial exercises develop broadcast newswriting, sound gathering,
camera work, interviewing, voice production, vocal style and audio and video editing
skills. The subject develops generic journalistic skills and cultural literacy, hones
newswriting skills learnt in earlier subjects, and encourages students to develop
distinct ways of presenting journalistic stories.
