News Writing and Ethics

Feature writing is one of the most enduring and satisfying styles of modern journalism, allowing writers to settle into their subject in a more creative and in-depth way than ‘hard’ bulletin-style news writing. It’s about scratching below the surface and revealing the people and places, the hows, and the whys behind the news.  To help you on the road to feature writing mastery, we will be exploring and practising a number of techniques around selecting a topic and an angle, interviewing, structuring your work, writing a fabulous intro, using quotes and description, and editing and publishing. You’re going to enjoy reading and analysing some inspiring feature articles by leading writers and, through the forum activities and your own writing practice, develop some of the same skills and strategies that the pros use. UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.  This is a third-year course from UniSA Online’s Digital Media degree. When studying this course as a &quot;single subject&quot;, prior knowledge from COMM 1074 or equivalent will support your success.Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you.
