Modules

The Journalism Major Project needs a strong subject, one that sells to editors and publishers as a work destined for prime airtime or publication. The Journalism Major Project gives you the chance to mobilise the skills and academic understanding you have acquired on the taught part of the programme to produce a journalistic artefact or series of artefacts of publishable and/or broadcast quality which is to be accompanied by a professional pitch, with accompanying documentation and a critically reflective essay of 4000 words.
