Community Media (P4025)
15 credits, Level 6
Spring teaching
On this module, you’ll develop an understanding of questions and critiques of community and belonging through, with and in opposition to media online and offline. This draws on action research literatures to critically reassess questions of content, process and form as relating to process-driven forms of media in relation to traditional audience and institutional communities.
The module blends practice and theory relating to community media’s potential to work alongside activists, charities, communities and NGOs to build, sustain, reflect and – where appropriate – critique communities locally, regionally and beyond borders. Journalistic skills will be applied and developed in this context.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We鈥檙e planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We鈥檒l make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
