The Journalism Major Project needs a strong subject, one that sells to editors and publishers as a work destined for prime airtime or publication.
The Journalism Major Project gives you the chance to mobilise the skills and academic understanding you have acquired on the taught part of the programme to produce a journalistic artefact or series of artefacts of publishable and/or broadcast quality which is to be accompanied by a professional pitch, with accompanying documentation and a critically reflective essay of 4000 words.,
The artefact / series of artefacts produced by journalism students must represent a substantial piece of original investigative research which can be dealt with through print-, broadcast-, online-journalism of a high-quality professional standard. The total volume of this journalistic artefact / series of artefacts will be equivalent to 7,500 words, technical equivalents (for broadcast, or work presented in InDesign etc) for this word-count volume can be found in the Journalism Major Project Handbook.
