Course Description:
Introduction to Journalism is intended to supplement other SILS media studies courses and provide useful background for students thinking of a career in journalism or public relations, or even propaganda. This course examines the business and practice of print, broadcast and internet journalism in Britain, the US and East Asia. The course combines discussion of big issues in journalism and media studies generally with an examination of workaday journalism and the techniques, problems and adventures that journalists go through to put their story on the page, on TV, radio and the net. The course has a special focus on the ethics of journalism and on the practice of public relations. We also examine challenges posed by freedom of information activists and look at the quality and integrity of journalism’s own self-examination. The course looks closely at the work of well-known journalists, past and present, and examines the power and significance
