Television

This workshop is designed for the production of news, magazines,
and documentary for television. Students put into practice all
the television skills learned in other related courses to create
programs of different durations appropriate for broadcast.
Radio
Workshop
Designed to simulate real-life radio situations, this workshop
helps students put into practice all the skills learned. They
produce news bulletins and features, do interviews and produce
programs for broadcast.
Newspaper
Workshop
Students produce an in-house newspaper several times during the
semester. The entire class works as a team of reporters and editors,
and do the layout under the supervision of an instructor. Depending
on each student's area of specialization, he or she would pick
topics such as crime, politics, religion, arts, education and
others. The newspaper not only polishes the skills and prepares
students for jobs but also helps them stretch and think in long-range
terms.
Magazine
Workshop
The class is required to create a prototype of a consumer magazine,
selecting different areas of interest each time for a total of
four issues. Students perform interviewing, writing, photo editing,
copy-editing, fact checking, design and layout, all in preparation
for a profession in magazine journalism. They also learn to write
in a magazine voice, doing so in a range of story lengths and
topics.
New
Media Workshop
Designed for students wanting a career in Web journalism, this
course requires publishing an on-line newspaper and a magazine
several times during the semester. This workshop teaches the art
and science of interactive story telling with new media. Students
learn how to report and create stories using new media tools and
techniques.
