Learners will be expected to effectively analyse and report the events that shape our lives and the world around us. They will be guided to design, develop and produce news content using the latest audio-visual technologies and recording devices. Moreover, learners will explore how to present their journalistic works to the public in a variety of formats such as print, radio, television and online.
