Visual journalism increasingly drives rather than illustrates stories but whichever field or mediums you aspire to work in, you will be required to produce factual, clear and concise text. The module begins with fundamental news literacy concepts to help you understand and navigate today’s complex media landscape before moving on to reporting the news. You’ll learn how to generate story ideas, gather original first-hand information and combine it with research and contextual information to deliver informed and compelling stories to your target audience. You will be taught how to verify information and ensure that a story is accurate, balanced and fair. Meanwhile, you will develop an awareness of the conventional tenets of journalism and consider the gap between journalistic ideals and real world norms and constraints. This module will serve as a key building block for future modules and provide solid research and reporting skills for every medium, as well as a grounding in postgraduate academic skills. The GAME+ attributes developed on this module are: Critical Creativity and Innovation, Professional Identity, Critical Self-Management.

This module offers an innovative, research-led approach to critically examining themes of gender, sex, and criminality in the Victorian period. Active participants in practice-based research collaboration, students will explore a range of canonical texts in combination with a diverse and rich array of archival, digitised online resources. In doing so, this module reinforces the digital research skills acquired at HE4 and HE5 and develops these to an advanced level, while introducing students to hands-on archival research. Students will consolidate their understanding of the generic conventions of Victorian popular fiction through a close examination of a range of contemporary materials such as literary magazines, newspaper articles and visual imagery; such sources will contextualise and enrich interpretation of literary works published throughout the nineteenth century. With advanced research skills and methods embedded within the teaching delivery, the module will consider how this kind of research may fill the textual gaps of the canonical writings, concluding with an examination of how the Victorians are re-imagined in the twenty-first century. Finally, students will develop their own areas of research interest in relation to the key themes explored on the module, presenting a record of their ongoing research findings which will culminate in an original creative research project.
