Journalism
Journalism is a top degree in Ireland designed to equip you with practical skills in reporting and writing for different media as well as providing you with essential knowledge in politics, law, ethics, society and culture.
Journalism is an important, exciting and dynamic field. It tells us about ourselves. The platforms through which we tell our stories are evolving, and in UL we offer students a chance to engage with and deliver stories across all digital and social media platforms. We help develop real-world practical and critical thinking skills in students so that their journalism is informed by a balanced sense of justice, accuracy and life-experience. Over the four years our students will:
Produce their own radio reports and TV bulletins, in our state of the art studios
Work on the awarding winning Limerick Voice news website, social media platforms and local newspaper (www.limerickvoice.com)
Produce and design an online magazine
Work with the latest digital publishing and editing software programmes including Adobe Audition, Final Cut Pro and Indesign
Use social media to self-publish and promote work
Learn key fact-checking and online verification skills
