Read more communication science and addresses current challenges in journalism. We show how scientific theories, methods and insights can help to overcome these challenges.
The focus in teaching and research is on the practice and quality of journalism, climate and science communication, digital media and digital journalism, and political communication. We expand the perspective beyond Germany, work in an international comparison and analyze cross-border communication flows.
The guiding principle of the course is quality journalism: thorough research, unbiased assessment of the facts, professional skepticism, understandable communication and independent judgment as elements of responsible professional practice in the service of a democratic society. The students learn to analyze the social, economic, ethical, historical and international framework conditions of journalism and thus acquire valuable knowledge for their career start.
Seminars with practical exercises impart the journalistic tools, but also enable academic reflection on media practice. In project seminars, we carry out applied research relevant to practice, develop, produce and test journalistic products. The course involves experienced practitioners from the media metropolis of Hamburg in the teaching.
The students can gain valuable experience in course-related internships and expand their contacts with editorial offices. In the free elective area, students can acquire specialist skills in other subjects, which they can later use in practice. Read less
