Journalism, Politics and History

About this course

Journalism, politics, and history make a coherent and mutually reinforcing combination, because good journalism requires exactly what politics and history develop: an understanding of context, power, institutions, and ideas that makes reported events intelligible rather than merely factual. Journalists who lack political and historical knowledge produce thinner, more easily manipulated reporting. Historians and political scientists who understand journalism are better equipped to engage with contemporary public debate and to communicate their expertise beyond the academy. At City St George's, University of London, this BA gives you the chance to engage with the ideas and events that have shaped the modern world while developing the practical craft of journalism. You will receive first-rate education in practical journalism, including reporting, writing, broadcasting, and digital storyte
