131 Grading and assessment protocols Weekly written seminar assignments (20%). Students should be asked to prepare short written reports on the seminar topics, both as a basis for discussion and for grading purposes. Mid-term essay (30%). Topic at the discretion of teacher, but should be structured around material covered up to Week 7 of the course. Final exam (50%). Contributed by Robert Brand, Pearson Chair of Economics Journalism, School of Journalism and Media Studies, Rhodes University, South Africa. Journalism Ethics Level of course: Second year in bachelor’s degree Course description Journalism ethics need not be simply another theoretical discipline. It can be as challenging, creative and experimental as any other practical class. We propose the creation of an Ethics Lab, a real or virtual space where students recreate and face ethical dilemmas similar to those found in newsrooms. The main objective of this course in applied ethics is to develop the student’s abilities to identify journalistic ethical issues through the examination and evaluation of local, national and international case studies. The course is based not on rights and wrongs, but on critical thinking and supervised decision making. It will also pay attention to global journalism ethics as an extension of journalism ethics. We should emphasize the ethical aspects of journalism practice both within and outside the national borders and prepare students to be critical of their own and other countries’ journalism practices. Mode: A combination of lectures and seminars. Pedagogical approach or method Students will develop an ability to think critically and practice journalism ethics. For that purpose we develop skills in comprehension, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of ethical dilemmas in micro and macro levels of discussion. For some cases, students will be asked to role-play. We will also explore the diversity of cultural approaches and definitions for journalism ethics, society and individual journalists’ responsibilities in different societies. We recommend specific class readings, writing term papers, discussing local, national and international case studies, film
