DESCRIPTION
This module introduces students to a range of debates around the future of journalism as it goes online, interactive and mobile. It will enable students to examine digital journalism within a theoretical context to support any independent projects or research papers undertaken in their final year. It examines how technology has radically changed the way we receive and interact with news and current affairs and identifies what constitutes journalism in a global digital news culture and provides theoretical underpinning for the module interactive journalism. The module will present an overview of the issues and debates facing journalism as the industry struggles to cope with the implications of new technologies. In so doing it looks at the changing conceptualisation of journalism as a particular practice.
