Course Aims
The course aims to strengthen the capacity of broadcast and print
journalists and of the organisations they work for to use the Internet
for the purposes of research, publication and distribution.
The many 'faces' of internet
The Internet is an exciting new medium for journalists and media
organisations. Journalists can find a wealth of information,
previously unreachable, which will help them in their research and in
keeping their fingers on the pulse. Short news items can be presented
in a variety of ways, supported by additional background material and
stored in dossiers for later retrieval. By making use of the
communication possibilities of the Internet, journalists can, for the
first time, really establishcontact with their audience.
The additional value to the media
But the potential for 'narrowcasting' (i.e. distributing relevant
information directly to the target audience), as opposed to
'broadcasting' (i.e. delivering all the information to everybody) is
what makes the Internet really revolutionary. Mass media organisations
can directly target an audience with the news and information they
need. And by delivering relevant information to the doorstep, mass
media organisations are more able to hold on to their audiences, even
in a time of growing competition. Clearly, as an additional and
integrated new medium of publication, distribution and communication,
the Internet poses a lot of challenges.
Becoming a content provider
The Internet is a multimedia environment, where the traditional,
clear-cut divisions between text, graphics, audio and video are
blurred. Journalists, used to thinking in traditional terms with
regard to the different type of media, are turning into a new species,
'content providers', able to generate material for each of the
different media. Moreover, the principles of interactivity and
non-linearity mean that information for the Internet has to be ordered
and presented differently. The multimedia approach also makes
organisational demands. New structures have to be designed to cope
with the new ways of production, publication and distribution. New
ways of working, posing a challenge to established working practices
and attitudes, have to be introduced and adopted. Since the Internet
is such a new medium, there is plenty of experimentation going on. As
of yet, there is no universal model for a content provider or a
multimedia organisation. However to be able to face the challenges of
the 21st century, it is important that media organisations and the
people who work for them participate in this process.
Learning by doing
The six weeks of the course will be dedicated to enabling the
participating journalists to work as Internet journalists/producers.
The focus will be on content rather than on technical skills.
Attention will be paid to the two central tenets of the Internet:
information and communication. Special emphasis will be placed on the
three main principles of multimedia environments: the multimedia mix,
interactivity and non-linearity. The potential and the use of the
Internet as a source of information will be explored (the Internet as
a research tool), and options for its use as a medium of
communication, publication and distribution analysed and applied to
the specific situation of the participants. The possibilities and
advantages of the Internet - as well as some of its drawbacks - for
journalists and the organisations they work for will be highlighted.
Merging audio, video and print
The participants will be from different professional media (radio,
television, the press). The aim of the course is to transcend these
boundaries and merge the disciplines in search of the ideal of a
multi-media journalist. Participants will acquire knowledge of the
essentials of web-design (structure, interaction and lay-out) and
skills for the development of websites and for production for the
Internet, such as writing non-linear, interactive pieces, making
graphics and producing sound and moving pictures. Participants will
analyse existing examples of websites attached to newspapers,
magazines and broadcasting organisations.
