About the course

In this course, you will learn to tell engaging multimedia stories on radio and online. Over two face-to-face workshops, you will publish a segment of radio on UCFM 87.8 and an article at The Owl, the publication of the Journalism and Sports Media programs.

After being introduced to the basic principles of journalism, broadcasting and online publishing, you will conduct an interview and gather multimedia material. With guidance, you’ll then turn that material into your On Air and Online stories.

Upon completion, you’ll have an understanding of basic journalism, publishing and broadcast practice.
