1306 Theoretical and Methodical Specialisation
The module will teach students how to go “behind the scenes” with respect to news and radio/TV reports, the press, the Internet and relevant magazines. The objective is to provide an overview of criteria for the production of material on culture, sports and outdoor life which will enable students to develop a critical attitude towards information presented in the various media. Reflection subjects include topics from media sociology and cultural sociology.
The course will especially emphasise:
Sport and outdoor event journalism plays an important role in mediating and presenting sports and outdoor life activities. They portray the mystical and sexual stereotypes of elite sport and celebrities, as well as local and national identities in the global arena. Emphasis will be placed on relating the production of materials for the media to theoretical perspectives within the fields listed above.
