Communication Strategies and Journalistic Coverage in Times of War
7.5 credits
How are media and communications shaping armed conflicts? How are conflicts made visible in the news media in different national and transnational settings? How does the media serve as a means by which various actors manage and communicate conflict?
From the multi-level Ukraine conflict back to the Vietnam war, students will use a variety of disciplinary perspectives and analytical approaches to address the ways in which traditional mass media and new media are involved in narrating and shaping conflict/crisis.
Distance – study where you are
Distance learning can be structured in different ways – it may be entirely online, or include a few on-campus sessions or meetings at one of our learning centres. The common factor is that most of the learning happens online.
You communicate with your teacher and fellow students through a learning platform, which provides access to discussion forums, group work opportunities, and digital meetings. In many cases, you also have access to recorded lectures via the platform.
The advantage of distance learning is its flexibility – ideal for those who want more freedom to decide when and where to study. However, keep in mind that some mandatory elements of your programme may take place during working hours, even if they are conducted online.
