This module represents your 'capstone' project. It is a piece of work that you have carried out on your own, on the basis of the groundwork completed during the Multimedia Project Preparation module. It will demonstrate your command of much that you have learned and practised during your first two years in terms of defining a story, gathering information, conducting research, handling data and statistics, newsgathering by means of interviews, reading and other means, and finally presentation across a range of media platforms. Your final piece of work will be published on the course website.
Aims
The aim of this module is to allow you to work on your own to show that you have a grasp of many of the fundamental skills and techniques that you will need to demonstrate as a working journalist.
