课程特征 Course Features:
The Centre for Broadcasting and Journalism at Nottingham Trent University has been training aspiring journalists for over 15 years. Our Journalism courses are among the most highly-regarded in the UK and our graduates have gone on to work with the BBC, ITN, Sky News, major newspapers and numerous BBC and commercial radio stations across the country.
The Newspaper Journalism course offers specialist training to equip students with the well rounded skills required within this industry. The course focuses on areas such as interviewing, story construction, specialised reporting such as court, council and sport plus writing columns, reviews and features. It will also introduce you to subbing – headline writing, layout and proof reading – using QuarkXPress, the industry-standard desktop publishing package. You will be taught by our team of experienced media professionals, and their knowledge is supplemented by a lecture and tutorial programme of visiting professors, journalists and other guests.
This course was developed in consultation with a consortium of major industry employers as well as the regional newspaper, The Lincolnshire Echo. The course has been awarded accreditation from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ).
Students on this course will be entered for the preliminary examinations of the NCTJ; the first stage in gaining a professional qualification recognised by the industry. The course has a practical focus, and you are expected to develop story ideas and contacts, and gather your own material for journalistic work. Online production is an integral part of the course with students focusing on the key multi-media skills required by the industry. The course incorporates a work placement to allow students to put their newly developed skills into practice and build valuable experience.
