Synopsis
This course advances students' understanding of the influences, practices and impact of journalistic analytical and opinion writing as they develop their ability to write news and feature articles with imaginative flair. Students will investigate major political and social issues through peer discussions, analysis and undertaking original research and writing projects. They will further explore some of the classical traditions in these areas of journalism including questions of moral certainty and argument as well as rhetorical strategies demonstrated by best practices in journalism. By developing a critical understanding of reporters' practices in editorialising and analysis of the contemporary issues affecting society, governance and humankind, the course helps students to achieve high professional standards in publishing investigative features, ideas and opinions.
