This course enables students to understand and engage effectively with opportunities for entrepreneurial development as professional journalists and managers in the digital media environment, and deals with characteristic requirements and challenges. Prof. Gregory F. Lowe teaches the course, with support from Prof. Ari Heinonen. Students analyse current development in news production and distribution with a focus on the enterprise as a business and critically evaluate the implications. Industry guest lecturers reflect on their experiences and understandings. There is an exam on the readings and lectures, and a team project resulting in a start-up proposal.
