Cíle předmětu
To equip students with the knowledge, skills, and ethical framework necessary to excel in investigative journalism by providing a curriculum that is informed by international best practices, aligned with international and European standards for journalism education, fosters cross-border collaboration, centers on fact- and evidence-based reporting, embraces digital journalism techniques, emphasizes practical, hands-on experience, prioritizes journalistic production over theory, and utilizes a blended learning approach to maximize student engagement and participation.
Výstupy z učení
A key feature of this course is learning by doing. Throughout the semester, students will actively engage in investigative journalism projects. They will be tasked with conducting field reporting and applying the theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom. This hands-on approach encourages creativity, innovation, and collaboration among students. The fundamental framework for these investigative projects will be established at the beginning of the semester. Over the course of the next three months, students will work on their stories under the mentorship of the professor, refining their skills and producing impactful journalism.

Výukové metody
The classes will be taught through a combination of lectures, drills, hands-on classroom learning, and workshops. A lot of the learning will be through field reporting outside the classroom. Through story workshops, editing, rewrites and revisions of their work, students will learn the craft of reporting, writing, and story presentation.
Metody hodnocení
There won't be a knowledge exam in this course. Instead, the student's grade will comprise two components: 50% of the grade will be based on weekly online activities. Each week, students will need to submit an online task related to the lessons covered in the previous week. These tasks can consist of brief theoretical essays (around 3-4 paragraphs) or practical exercises related to the investigation they are conducting. The remaining 50% of the grade will be determined by their engagement in the investigative project they choose to undertake. In cases where a project cannot be completed by the end of the course (due to complex topics, insufficient evidence, or other valid reasons), students will be required to submit a research memo instead.
