The idea solidified while respected international journalist and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s alumnus Jeffrey Kofman, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션81, was giving a lecture earlier this summer at the Bader International Study Centre (BISC) about his experiences covering the Libyan Revolution in 2011.
For a while, BISC staff had been brainstorming about a course on journalism for non-journalists; seeing Jeffrey speak, they knew the London-based ABC journalist would be the perfect person to teach the course. That quickly led to INTS 312, 카지노 게임 컬렉션Seminar in Modern European Studies: Journalism in the 21st Century,카지노 게임 컬렉션 taught last fall to a group of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students and others studying at the Castle from Japan, Korea and the U.S.
The course was designed to give students a critical perspective on the news and help them become better-informed news consumers. Jeffrey took students on a behind-the-scenes look at how news is presented and how the profession is faring in a time of great change that includes the shift to online and social media and the struggle to fund media organizations within a new advertising landscape.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s very easy to be a passive news consumer right now and to look uncritically at all the information coming at us,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Jeffrey. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I hope this course gives students a solid foundation in how the media works, which is fundamental to navigating the vast amounts of information online. It is designed to help them know what to look for. In turn, that not only makes them better news consumers, but also better citizens.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Jeffrey drew on his strong contacts in the industry to bring in (or Skype in) several well-respected journalists to the Castle, including Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s alumna Lyse Doucet, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션80, Foreign Correspondent for BBC World Service; Lisa LaFlamme, Chief Anchor for CTV National News; and Michael Cooke, Editor of the Toronto Star.
The instructor also gave students a look at both the 카지노 게임 컬렉션high end카지노 게임 컬렉션 and 카지노 게임 컬렉션low end카지노 게임 컬렉션 of journalism, with London-based guests from Wallpaper (Publisher Gord Ray, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션93) and Monocle magazines (Executive Producer Gillian Dobias, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션81) and a mock tabloid newsroom led by a London reporter who later renounced tabloid journalism. Among more traditional assignments, students had opportunities to write their own news stories, gaining insight into the process of news-gathering.
"This course was honestly the best one I've taken throughout my undergraduate studies,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Sophie Koumoudouros, Artsci'15. 카지노 게임 컬렉션There are no journalism courses offered at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, so I'm glad that when I was at the Castle I got the chance to take this truly unique course! I think it's very important for people to have knowledge about the media and how to be a smart and thoughtful news consumer."
Feedback from the course has been so positive that plans are in the works to offer it again in the next school year. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Jeffrey카지노 게임 컬렉션s class is an example of the transformative learning environment that is thriving at the BISC,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Christian Lloyd, PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션00, Academic Director at the BISC. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We believe in fostering strong ties with the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s alumni community and from offering classes, to networking events, to internship opportunities, we are actively connecting our students카지노 게임 컬렉션 learning to our alumni카지노 게임 컬렉션s expertise.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Jeffrey says that as a student at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s he never imagined he would be teaching for the 카지노게임사이트. He was impressed by the curiosity and enthusiasm of his students. As a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s grad he finds that especially rewarding. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s been really satisfying for me to go back and teach for the university that educated me,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션In a small way, I카지노 게임 컬렉션m paying it forward, and I hope I카지노 게임 컬렉션m helping to shape the outlook of these students as others at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s helped shape me.카지노 게임 컬렉션
