Study programmes

The Master's study program Journalism focuses on the broader context of media work, including the current development of media and media systems, theoretical concepts of journalism and ethical issues. Students will gain knowledge about the means of analyzing media messages. The study focuses on theoretical knowledge in the field as well as on the current development of journalistic practice. It also reflects changes in media ownership and the phenomena of civil journalism, participatory journalism or the role of social media in journalistic practice. A significant specificity of journalism teaching at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University is also the range of possibilities of practical training in the form of creative workshops. The faculty has its own Radio and Television Laboratory, a darkroom and technical equipment for the processing of graphic materials and prepress. Students are encouraged to critically evaluate journalistic production, at the same time they have the opportunity to try out methods of journalistic work in seminars, workshops and practice.
