The News Reporting course covers different
aspects of the news and how to report it. It consists of two
parts:
1. What is News?
The course takes you through a brief introduction to
Journalism, the definition of news, and subjectivity in
different newspapers. The general parameters of judging the
newsworthiness of an item, as well as some practical aspects
of the control of news in newspapers are also covered.
2. Writing News
The student is taken through different ways of collecting
news and presenting it. This is followed by exercises to help
the students identify news wherever it may be found. A final
section briefly discusses the ethics of news presentation.
