The new frontier of story-telling and truth telling

Here at the School of Media and Communication we are seeing far faster growth. In each of the last two years, we have had more requests to post positions than we have 有毕业生来接吗. Digital Journalists act as truth-tellers and story-tellers, sketching society both as it is and how it could be. The 数字新闻 program consists of a set of core skills and theory courses that cover the basics of story-telling and information gathering and production. Students are then asked to specialize in one of two tracks, Broadcast or 多媒体. Broadcast is designed for students who see themselves working in television, radio, NextGen TV, and the like. 多媒体 is for students who see themselves pursuing positions on digital news outlets, magazines, newspapers, podcasting and other venues.
