During your final year you will undertake a capstone project designed to demonstrate your understanding of the theory and practice of reporting, your ability to work across a number of broadcast platforms, and your ability to identify, research and deliver an original story. You'll begin with the essential scoping and preparatory work necessary for you to proceed with the project proper. This might include exploring several story possibilities, commissioning or conducting research, reading round the subject and seeking interviews and assistance from experts and protagonists in the subject area. The project will demonstrate your command of much that you have learned and practised during your first two years in terms of defining a story, gathering information, conducting research, handling data and statistics, newsgathering by means of interviews, reading and other means, and finally presentation across a range of media platforms.
