This course prepares students to work in an editorial team to supply material across a multi-platform newsroom.  Students will seek out original stories, conduct incisive interviews and produce crisp and engaging copy. Students will train to be what Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez called the best job in the world – a journalist. Students will be taught by staff with extensive experience in news journalism with input from leading journalists and editors from publications across the country going from news novice to a multiskilled, multi-platform, social media savvy and highly employable 21st Century journalist. The department’s agreement with the Nottingham Post gives students the opportunity to learn journalism skills on the job. Students gain invaluable first-hand experience working in industry and it gives the Post an opportunity to spot the best talent which is great for their newsroom but also the city as skilled graduates are retained.
