This course brings together all the major multimedia journalism skill sets established in all previous semesters of study in the program. It also lays the foundation for all the major principles and practices required for the senior-level thesis project in final year.

Students will integrate a range of multimedia approaches, including interactive timelines, podcasts, maps, charts, surveys and research, as well as text, audio, video and images. Students will also prepare content for a variety of uses, from handheld devices to the more traditional monitor display usage.
