Journalism at the Age of Uncertainty, 5 cr

The course invites students to analyze, experiment and discuss in class the current state of journalism as a profession, practice and entrepreneurship from the perspective of ongoing global changes in power, technology, economy and identity. In the process of active learning, the students will be encouraged to think about their future and profession beyond national boundaries, in a comparative context with non-Western countries (based on the BRICS journalism study).

The course consists of 10 lectures (20 hours) and group work. Basic completion of the course carries 5 credits: students attend lectures, work in groups, do independent homework for the implementation of the joint presentations and write an essay. Some students may attend only lectures and seminars and keep a lecture diary (2 credits) or choose a seminar presentation and write an essay (3 credits).
