PW2213 Media Writing
ASSESSMENT: 1 essay + 1 piece of media writing
POSSIBLE TUTOR(S): Vanessa Harbour
From tabloid articles to celebrity-gossip snippets, from radio to television broadcasts, to web-writing and
blogging, this module will allow you to develop your own writing skills in relation to an array of media genres
and forms. The key concern will be with the various ways in which you can get your writing ‘out there’ whilst
at the same time better understanding these media contexts and outlets. The emphasis will be very much on
students taking the initiative and developing their own media-related writing projects, using their newlygained
knowledge of the contemporary media as they conceive, design and develop their own work.
