Journalismus

Learning journalism made easy: The second, updated edition of this textbook provides a practical introduction to current core topics in modern journalism training. Designed for use in journalism degree programmes at universities and universities of applied sciences, it consistently focuses on the craft of journalism: finding and selling topics, researching and verifying information, and using storytelling to cast it into forms of presentation. In this way, the book presents the processes of multimedia content production step by step, using clear graphics and current examples. In addition to media economic and ethical framework conditions, it focuses on trends in journalism, such as fake news, digital storytelling and data journalism or mobile reporting, social journalism and challenges posed by artificial intelligence.
