NEWSREEL2 - NEW TEACHING FIELDS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF JOURNALISTS

Similarly to NEWSREEL1, during phase2 of the project we have developed curricula in order to establish the structure of the e-learning materials and embed these skills and tools into the programmes of journalism studies. Each partner university has developed one or two syllabi, and as a result of that we have 9 syllabi in the following professional fields: Storytelling in social media and Graphic journalism by the University of Pécs, Improving democratic sensibility by the Masaryk University, Covering migration and Foreign coverage by the Erich Brost Institute, Journalism for voice-activated assistants and devices and AI and journalism, robot journalism and algorithms by the ISCTE University Institute of Lisbon, Verifying and analysing fake news and Debunking disinformation by the University of Bucharest.

The course descriptions include
- the structure of the professional & academic content of the courses concerned,
- specific abilities (what do we want students to be able to do)
- discipline’s objectives (related to developing abilities and competencies)
- suggestions for ECTS credits & workload description,
- brief descriptions and teaching methods of every lesson,
- evaluation forms,

- a list of the compulsory and additional literatures.

NEWSREEL - NEW SKILLS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF JOURNALISTS


In phase 2 of the project we have developed detailed syllabi for establishing the structure of the e-learning materials of phase 3 and embedding these materials into the programs of journalism studies. Each partner country has developed one syllabi, therefore we have 4 syllabi in the following topics: Data Journalism and Visualization by the University of Bucharest, Collaborative Journalism by the Erich Brost Institute, News Media Business, Innovation and Project Development by ISCTE University Institute of Lisbon, and Ethical Challenges in Digital Journalism by the University of Pécs. In the materials the discipline objectives, the content of the courses are available, as well as the compulsory and additional bibliographies.
