this reflection is an opportunity for students
to demonstrate their understanding of news processes from a semester of
critically analysing current news as well as themselves “doing” news.
Students will be marked on their insights into the way the media functions and
their own news practices. We are not seeking a breakdown of what was covered
each week, rather what aspect of news most interested you? Why? Students might
consider the following:
·
What surprised you about the process?
·
What did you learn about journalism or
journalists?
·
What did you learn about the news process
from the stories that you followed in the print and online media this semester?
Did any ethical concerns arise, either for you or the media you observed?
·
What does “balance” mean to you now? Objectivity?
·
What did you learn about the process of
news through observing it and through “doing” it?
These questions are not intended to be
prescriptive, rather to suggest possible approaches.
We are looking for students to draw on
insights gathered through the class activities and the set assignments, as well
as the readings AND current news events to provide real world examples. Please
use academic referencing for this Reflection.
