Yesterday in class I spoke about my planned new 3rd year elective module on Political Reporting. The module will look at the interactions between journalists and sources across different forms of political reportage. We’ll explore parliamentary reportage, political commentary, interviews and press conferences, and the role of social media in political reportage among other topics.

The module still needs to go through the University approval process before it can be taught in the Spring term next year but if you are interested in taking this module then please let me and Ian know. Thanks to those of you who have already expressed an interest and let me know if you have any questions.
