There is no better route into the highlycompetitive world of automotive journalism than this unique course. Specifically designed with input from the automotive publishing industry and endorsed by the Guild of Motoring Writers, the course builds on our strong links with the media and the motor industry.
Graduates have gone on to positions with car magazines and motoring websites, and to become successful freelance motoring writers.
Other career prospects include positions in established media/broadcasting organisations in a range of national and international contexts, specialist and trade publications as a specialist reporter particularly those with international focus, and opportunities in emerging broadcast contexts such as web-based text journalism, web-TV and web-radio.
Contents
Practising journalists – including an award-winning freelance motoring writer and former car magazine editor – help you develop the skills required to become a successful journalist, together with an understanding of journalism theory and essential law and ethics.
Teaching takes the form of a mixture of lectures, seminars, discussions and workshops. You will write and design your own Automotive magazine and, increasingly, back that up with web content in written, audio and video formats.
