Course Objectives: | This course helps students to be become educated producers and also consumers of media. Students will develop critical thinking skills of the economics and workings of journalism and they will explore how social and political forces affect newswriting. This course will help students learn to better understand the connections between economics, politics and the media. The course also provides students with a basis in media research, newsgathering and newswriting. Finally, students will develop critical thinking skills to understand the challenges of the new media landscape with digital technologies. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; This course will help students to face the real world after university. Since it will be held in Habertürk, students for the first time will find a chance to meet the professional world and explore how journalism works including the production of news. Habertürk will give students the chance to explore news production by overcoming the constraints of the classroom. Therefore students will develop a sense of how communication is practiced in the professional atmosphere. |
The course is deeply connected to other undergraduate journalism courses in a way that it provides professional experiences of journalism where students can apply what they have learned in their in-class courses. Since this course is a General Elective, it is not necessarily designed for journalism students. The course provides opportunities for every student from all faculties to develop and apply work discipline, communication practices and critical thinking skills in their professional life. They will have the chance to apply what they have explored in their theoretical and practical undergraduate courses. |
