DESCRIPTION
Global Journalism will take as its starting point the economic, cultural and political shifts that have taken place since the 1990s. The module will explore contemporary ideas about 'the global' and critically examine both the utopian and dystopian claims that have been made about global culture and technologies and the role of contemporary journalism. The module will focus on a number of key debates in relation to developments in journalism; the nature of globalisation itself, the emergence of global civil society and citizen journalism and ideas of press freedom. The module will also include contemporary case studies of global news events and journalists' role in reporting them.
