The yearlong workshop, focusing on Investigative Journalism, builds on your knowledge acquired during the basic 1st and 2nd year courses. The workshop exposes students to the fascinating world of journalism in the digital era, it offers the students a unique opportunity to learn from and work with leading professionals in the journalism field and produce high-end investigative projects. The workshop targets students who wish to acquire a deep understanding and practical experience of in-depth investigative journalism.

During the first semester the students will receive the theoretical foundation – focusing on how to build an in-depth story, conduct relevant research, find sources, conduct professional interviews, and build a journalistic narrative that will fit different media platforms. During the second semester the students will practice their skills. Lecturers become mentors and will personally guide the students through their individual investigative projects – assist them in conducting their research, seek for credible sources, conduct interviews, and build a coherent narrative. The mentors will guide the students individually throughout the semester, with the aim of creating high-quality projects that might be published on written or video platforms. The subjects for the investigative piece can differ and are chosen by the students – social matters, environmental issues, bureaucracy injustice, etc.
