ABOUT
Introduction:
Do you want to work in magazines? Are you passionate about the written word, whether it’s online or in print? Would you like to do in-depth interviews, learn how to shoot video professionally and explore design and photography to create beautiful magazines? If so this is the perfect course for you.
What you’ll study
This course will equip you with the all-round skills and knowledge needed to build a career as a journalist in magazines, whilst providing you with a deep understanding of the wider publishing business. First and foremost you will learn how to write, whether it’s an in-depth interview, a sharp news story, a daily blog or a snappy photo caption.
You will learn how to report, research, interview and edit news stories and features. Using Adobe InDesign, you will develop an understanding of how to plan a page with text, photographs and graphics, sub-edit copy, and write a compelling headline.
You’ll get to grips with mobile journalism, using a phone or tablet to record video and audio, and learn how to edit your material into packages. On newsdays and newsweeks, you’ll produce websites and magazines, working with WordPress, the storytelling platform Shorthand.com, InDesign and Photoshop, as well as creating content for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
You’ll also examine the business side of magazines and have the chance to pitch your own idea for a new title to a panel of industry professionals.
To underpin your journalism practice, you will gain a solid grounding in media law, public administration and ethics and regulation. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop shorthand skills to the NCTJ standard.
