Course Content

Students are introduced to the principles of narrative journalism. 

 

Where and how can you track down a good story? What do you need, how do you collect the information, and how do you write the story according to the principles of narrative journalism?

 

A variation of blended learning, i.e. a combination of self-study and contact moments, answers those questions.

 

Students are coached on writing a narrative journalism story at junior level.
