The purpose of Key issues facing contemporary journalism is to enable students to concentrate on a topic, relevant for the overall aim of the programme, bracing journalists and journalism for the future. The topic will fall within three areas, each constituting a focal point for the challenges and opportunities facing journalism today: Society, Technology, and the Market. The topic can have a theoretical or a practical focus or seek to combine the two.
The purpose of the course is to enable students to (A) understand how the journalistic coverage of conflicts and climate change are embedded within broader issues linked to globalisation and its histories; (B) to discuss various positions — both as researchers and journalists — in relation to contested issues of power and justice within conflicts and climate change; and (C) to engage critically with both broader and situated questions of positionality within both the qualified analyses and production of journalistic coverage of conflicts and climate change. The course will, firstly, introduce an overall theoretical frame focused on power and justice for discussing both theoretical and practical issues linked to the coverage of conflicts and climate change — both as separate issues and in combination. This will, secondly, be followed by a discussion of how such issues — both theoretically and empirically — are linked to core values of traditional and emergent journalisms, e.g. tensions between objectivity and activism. Based on the introduced frame and discussions of journalistic roles and positions, the course will work with a range of contemporary examples of the coverage of conflicts and/or climate change.

Thus, the course will give a comprehensive introduction to the debates about a changing world order. What arguments are being made, how are different positions motivated, empirically and theoretically? The course focuses on four inter-related factors which are crucial to understanding the changing world order: (1) Power (the balance of power, the prospects for peace and war, the rise of new great powers); (2) Economics (uneven globalisation, geo-economics); (3) Institutions (the UN system and regional organizations); and, finally (4) Values (including western and global south values).
