MA Journalism

Nottingham Trent University

Journalism matters. And it matters now more than ever. In a world overrun by misinformation, where truth is under threat like never before, it is journalists who hold power to account, and give a voice to the voiceless. This journalism Masters course is a bridge between undergraduate study and the fast-paced, exciting, and invaluable world of professional journalism. You’ll be seeking out your own stories from day one, and writing and producing written, video, and audio pieces to tight deadlines in our industry-standard student newsroom, one of the biggest in the country. You’ll develop key skills in news, web, and feature writing, dive into the engaging world of social media and audience analytics, and get to grips with the frameworks that underpin modern journalism, from media law and ethics to politics and commercialisation. And you’ll also have lots of opportunities to specialise in key areas including podcast production, data journalism, and public affairs.
