The aim of this course is to provide essential theoretical knowledge, practical and technological skills of television journalism with an emphasis on the new technologies. Students will acquire the basic skills of a television reporter, a presenter and a camera operator during the seminars and excursions to the public and private news TVs. The practical part combines work in the TV studio and the field. Students will work on practical projects – the final task will be a TV newscast consisted of studio work, live reporting and student’s news stories prepared during the semester.

To fulfill the requirements for the final assessment, the following is required:
Each assignment will be evaluated based on journalistic, technical, and aesthetic quality. Students must participate in all of the parts above and obtain at least 50% in each part. Each semestral task will be graded proportionally. Submitting any task after the deadline results in a 50% penalty in the assessment, and submitting it more than a week late results in a score of 0%. The optional parts (workshops and excursions) are not part of the final mark unless the student is signed up for a particular activity and is not present (-5 % in the final mark).
The use of AI-generated content is strictly prohibited in this course to preserve the originality and creative integrity essential to our subject. This course emphasizes personal expression, critical thinking, and authentic creativity, which cannot be fulfilled through automated tools. All submitted work must be the student's own intellectual effort. Last update: Géla František, Mgr., Ph.D. (28.10.2025)
