Course summary

Journalism today is shaped by global forces: digital transformation, new technologies, shifting political contexts, and challenges to press freedom and public trust. On this course, you’ll explore how journalism operates across borders and cultures, and how it responds to the challenges presented by disinformation, artificial intelligence (AI), censorship, political conflict and inequality. Alongside critical analysis, you’ll build digital skills that are essential in today’s media landscape. You’ll work with different types of data to analyse news content, audiences and producers, and learn how to interpret and present complex findings clearly. Training in multimedia storytelling will give you the ability to share insights through engaging formats across text, audio, video and digital platforms. The course places strong emphasis on communication. You’ll practise presenting your own research and ideas to different audiences, whether academic, professional, policy-focused or the general public, and learn how to adapt your work for diverse contexts and platforms. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident not only in researching global journalism, but also in demonstrating its relevance beyond the classroom.
