JOUR20016 Media & Communication

This course will examine media presentation of science in commercial and public television and radio so that students understand the constraints of the medium in any presentation. Other media, such as press releases, advertising and brochures will be analysed so students will be able to script such material and have input into the overall design of the product. While some students will have access to the facilities necessary to produce the end result, others will provide the directions so that other specialists (illustrators, for example) will be able to produce an item on the basis of these directions.
