Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives:

The journalism industry is always changing. With the new world of the internet comes a new form of journalism: convergence. Media convergence is defined as a form of cross-media cooperation, usually involving broadcast, print, photography and internet sites. This new form of journalism requires the journalist to be skilled in more than one discipline. For example, a convergence journalist could write an article for a newspaper and produce a broadcast package on the same story all in one day. Convergence journalism also adds more elements and details to a story through the use of more than one outlet to tell the story. This course is aimed to focus on the latest developments in journalism practice with underlining the cross-media applications and to give students basic skills to cover stories in a convergent way.

Course Content:

Students who will be already taken the introductory courses on different sections of journalism will be introduced and re-introduced about the importance of convergence in media as well as technical details about; news writing, photojournalism, fundamentals of multimedia journalism, broadcasting, editing, computer assisted journalism and information graphics. Blogging and podcasting will also be issues during the semester. Students will be obliged to cover convergent real news stories in order to be able to apply what they’ve received from the course.
