A completely new program:
From 2010 Monash Journalism will be offering a completely new undergraduate program with two interfacing streams in Journalism Practice and Journalism Studies.
With the largest undergraduate Journalism program in Australia, Monash Journalism has the economies of scale to offer the most comprehensive range of electives.
The first year Journalism Practice program is focussed on news reporting and students take four modules – one each in print, online, video and radio.
In second year students extend into current affairs and feature formats, specialising in at least two media.
In third year students choose at least two specialisations from
- economic reporting,
- political reporting,
- environmental reporting,
- investigative reporting and
- sport and cultural reporting,
and produce their journalism in their media of choice.
In the Journalism Studies stream, there are three core subjects:
- News and Power,
- Journalism and the Law and
- Journalism: Practice and Discourse
and three electives available -
- Journalism and Social Research,
- Journalism: War and Conflict and
- Journalism: City and Country.
There is a fourth year Honours program where students produce a major work for their portfolio and a scholarly dissertation.
