Contemporary journalism, for better or worse, requires more of the journalists than just responsible and extensive coverage, more than good stories, diligence and fact-checking. More often than not, a successful journalist nowadays is expected to be a fundraiser who knows exactly what’s needed for a successful crowdfunding campaign; a producer who knows how to put together effective teams and organise their collaboration, who can pitch their stories and oversee the following production for various media; and a marketer who effectively chooses and targets audiences with engaging messages. And this is exactly what this course is all about.
What does the Course cover?
Crowdfunding for cross-border stories
Collaboration in investigative reporting
Cross-border journalism: focus, coordination, promotion and delivery
