Content

Extend your core journalistic skills to new modes of news reporting and distribution through the art of multimedia storytelling. You will hone your skills, identifying stories that are made for multimedia treatment, and then use a judicious combination of text, images, sound, video clips, graphics, data visualisations and/or interactives to bring them to life. You won’t just report a story, but create an immersive, sensory-rich digital story package that will captivate audiences and set you apart as a master storyteller.
