Course description
This advanced level course provides a platform to gather, write and produce social justice news stories. The course will outline professional and ethical guidelines on a variety of news narratives including: First Nations People, refugees, asylum seekers, people affected by disability, multiculturalism and religion. The course will explore theoretical concepts for producing human rights journalism in a digitally-disrupted news market and will highlight the role and impact of the journalist in producing human-focussed stories that accurately reflect complex narratives. The course will investigate the notion of reflexivity in news practice and how this is important for the well-being of journalists as well as producing fair and balanced stories. The course will also focus on story preparation and risk mitigation.
