Университет Восточной Англии, MA, Broadcast and Digital Journalism

This MA degree is designed to equip you with the core practical and theoretical skills of journalism and electronic communications, preparing you for work within the communications industries or a related career. At the same time, you will develop the ability to reflect critically on the nature and limitations of news coverage. Our School is home to internationally recognized experts, and you will have access to their expertise in the fields of public affairs, politics, international relations and cultural change.

This course takes an international view of media law and political systems and considers the demands made of correspondents reporting from beyond their home territories.

You will practice interviewing, reporting, video and broadcast production and learn how to produce and structure news stories for different media. We also offer you the opportunity to participate in a number of visits, including to political and media institutions locally and in London, as well as in Northern Europe, working with our partner academic institutions in Belgium. 

The practical aspects of this course are taught by experienced broadcast journalists. You will take modules that look at journalism and journalistic ethics, TV, radio and online news production. You will study the stories of the day to see how working journalists are interpreting and developing their role. You will be based on campus and at the School’s own production suite within a TV studio complex in the centre of Norwich.
