It is designed to find and educate the next generation of audio-visual investigative journalists. After a thorough grounding in media law, regulation and ethics, students will receive extended tuition in various investigative techniques, including using the Freedom of Information Act, data journalism, financial journalism, and instruction in how to handle complex information.
