BROADCAST NEWS WRITING (CM3013)

This course introduces students to audio and video storytelling for television and digital platforms. Class meetings will include the production of AUP’s weekly television news webcast. A significant amount of course time will therefore be devoted to mastering news writing skills and journalistic techniques such as interviewing, news scripting, etc. The course will also examine how news stories are produced for ear and eye, including the construction of various story formats. The classes will help the student understand the role of the broadcast reporter, through the study and discussion of current issues in audio visual journalism, historical development and the organization of news operations.
