Master in Information and Communication, Professional Focus in Journalism, 1st year4
Lecturer :  Dominique D'Olne
Language(s) of instruction :

Course contents :  
This course aims to introduce students to the different facets of the profession of radio journalism, through exercises which are as close as possible to real life conditions. Split into two parts over the two years of the Masters, the course addresses the specificities of radiophonic writing, voice techniques, the basics of radio programme editing, the different forms of radio journalism. At the end of the second Masters, students should be able to carry out a placement within a professional radio studio.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The objectives are above all technical and formal, in so far as they bases of journalistic investigation are already covered in other courses.
Students thus learn:
- the particularities of radiophonic writing
- voice techniques
- the basics of radio programme editing (in particular spoken news)
- the different formats of radio journalism bulletin, news item, in-depth reporting, interview, news flash, headlines, news,
- use of current tools: digital recorders, computer montage.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
None. However, listening regularly to national radio is highly recommended.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
During the term, students will be called upon to carry out ten or so exercises (drafting a bulletin, news item, news flash, news headlines, interview ...). Students will be supported in their work by an assistant (introduction to recording materials and montage software). Close collaboration with the student radio 48FM will, moreover, showcase this work through radio broadcast.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
See : http://cipl82.philo.ulg.ac.be/horaires
Recommended or required readings :  
No syllabus: compulsory note taking.
Assessment methods and criteria :  
The exercises carried out will be assessed. These will contribute towards the final grade, but only marginally so (10%): they are mainly designed to prevent non-participation in class, given their eminently practical nature. The examination itself consists in assessing the additional work submitted by the students: a news item and the presentation of a spoken news broadcast. The examination will consist of an oral defence by the student of these latter two pieces of work (relevance to the subject, technical considerations, journalistic approach ...)
