Such social media tools are mostly used at the “introductory” level: for instance, students set up Twitter accounts and get to know how it works: following instructor, following each other, following a journalist, etc. Social media: use of Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Vimeo, Flickr, LinkedIn, blog, etc.Audio slideshow: put together a slideshow of photos with narration and/or music, the common tool is Soundslides.Audio: record sound and interview using digital audio recorder, and edit an audio piece using Audacity.

The editing software is usually Final Cut Pro other software programs include Adobe Premiere, iMovie, Movie Maker. Video: usually, this is not about vigorous television news production it is more about shooting interviews and b-rolls, then editing the footage into a video story.The two typical uses of a blog are (a) students blog about a topic of their choice, or (b) students post their assignments (audio, video, photo, etc). Blog: this seems to be a universal component in all 30 syllabi, and WordPress is the top choice.I’m listing out the common components, in descending order of the frequency with which they appear in the syllabi. Interestingly, upon a closer look of the components and topics in the 30 syllabi, there seems to be a fairly consistent pattern how multimedia journalism is being taught in the classroom. In a previous post analyzing the map of multimedia journalism programs, I said that multimedia journalism courses come in a large variety of course titles.
Common components and topics in the 30 syllabi The data set was thus narrowed down to 30 syllabi. I then carefully read each syllabus to decide if it has clearly identifiable topics, course objectives or assignments – these are indicators of what is being taught in that course. the word “syllabus” was added to each keyword phrase.Ī total of 65 syllabi were retrieved as a result of the initial keyword searches these are all courses taught at a higher education institution in U.S. The keywords used include “digital journalism,” “multimedia journalism,” “multiplatform journalism,” “online journalism,” “digital storytelling,” “multimedia storytelling,” “across platform,” etc. How I collected the 30 syllabi in this studyĮxtensive web searches were conducted to locate syllabi in multimedia journalism education.
This is what I found in a study of 30 syllabi of multimedia journalism courses. The common components in a typical multimedia journalism course are blog, video, audio, audio slideshow, social media, photography, data visualization, and web writing.
