DESCRIPTION
This module uses London as the focus for a journalism project that explores one of the world?s great capital cities from the perspective of an international student and introduces students to the modern magazine business. During this module, students work in groups to develop an idea for a magazine about London, which they then research and write stories for, before going to edit and lay out stories. They end the module by creating a digital dummy of their title. Students learn how to research and write a range of stories and copy for magazines. They develop basic page design skills, coming up with layouts for their own magazine. The magazines they create are print titles ? but students will also be encouraged to investigate tablet-based publications, apps and online editions too and to consider the role social media plays in modern magazines.
