Writing for Media

Multimedia Journalism

The Emerging Journalist

Writing for Media introduces you to the practice of writing for various media platforms and audiences. The focus of the subject will be to teach you how to write a range of media texts and to develop skills in editing and honing their work. The key learning outcomes of writing concisely, effective revision, distilling information and sound knowledge of grammar and style are transferable across a range of vocations. You will develop a folio of written work.

Journalism graduates are increasingly expected to be jacks and jills of all trades, and masters of combining them. In this subject, you will build skills in multimedia storytelling. You will be creating in-depth digital story packages, incorporating text, video, audio, photography and data visualisation to create your own multimedia feature article.

This subject explores podcasting and the use of sound in storytelling. Through the production of individual podcasts you will develop interviewing, recording, voice presentation and editing skills. The subject also covers how to create, develop and tell stories in the context of a podcast, including how to write to audio, and how to develop and practice presenting skills to enable the production of compelling podcasts.

Podcasting

The Emerging Journalist introduces you to the shifting roles and responsibilities of journalists and journalism within liberal democratic societies. You will appreciate the contemporary media landscape and the role of journalists and media organisations in relation to social, economic, political and cultural power structures. Topics and issues covered include best practices in news and feature writing, media ethics, and working with sources. Assessment tasks are designed to give students an opportunity to start building a portfolio of journalistic work via La Trobe Journalism&#39;s online publication for emerging journalists, upstart, http://www.upstart.net.au
