The module will begin by fostering a firm appreciation of why sub-editing and design are crucial elements in the production of any print media publication or website. You will learn how these skills have evolved largely due to technological advances and are continuing to evolve in the digital age and ever changing end delivery models. Then, in workshops, you will apply professional practices to sub raw copy, to transform it into the body text of news articles and features and enhance its readability. You will devise headlines, stand-firsts and pull-out quotes to a suitable size; research, locate and shoot photographs and other images; lay out pages; edit the sourced pictures and engage in proof reading and correction.
