International Media Studies: Media practice weeks

International Media Studies: Media practice weeks

  • DW Akademie | Workshop

    Putting theory into practice

    DW Akademie’s four-semester International Media Studies program, together with Bonn University and the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, is supplemented by media practice weeks. This time, students were able to select a workshop from among several options, from mobile journalism to journalistic writing or going live – including a behind-the-scenes look at the control room.

    The art of going live

    Ever feel the adrenaline rush just before you go live? To overcome it, said trainer and DW correspondent Thomas Sparrow, you had to practice, and that’s what the students did, in part in front of the camera. Tips they were given? “Presentation skills included us taking proper pauses and using the right tone and body language,” said IMS student Vaishali Sehgal.

    Social media: Storytelling on Instagram

    Vertical videos are the future, said DW social media journalist Rachel Baig, and explained how the algorithm works. “The training,” said student Pawida Charoenmuang, “gave us a safe space to sharpen our creativity and journalistic skills, and to utilize the platform which will be the future of journalism.” The reels they produced were a lot of fun.

    ‘The Practice Weekly’: Practical skills at their best

    How do you write a journalistic report? How do you plan an interview? Students honed their skills and went on to produce a newspaper. “It was wonderful,” said IMS student Shirley Owenga. “I gained practical knowledge about topics we had covered in the first semester, and the trainer’s feedback on our written piece really helped us improve our skills.”

    Journalism in war and conflict situations: Identifying threats and personal vulnerability

    Workshop aspects included what it is like to work in a hostile environment, how to interpret propaganda material, and how to interview people in conflict zones. “Sometimes stories lead journalists to traumatic embedment. But now,” said IMS student Shafaat Ullah, “I know how to keep a distance between the story and myself, and when to take a break and breathe.”

    Interaction: Public Relations (PR)

    Press statements, press conferences, how to plan them, and the basics of conflict communication management: that was the focus of the PR workshop. “I learned about public relations and corporate communication at the level of multinational companies,” said IMS student Dwi Nicken Tari, “and it was very interesting to hear a case study, especially on how to handle crisis situations.”

    Students happy with the media practice weeks

    Participants had picked a workshop according to their interests. These students took part in the environmental journalism workshop, which included attending a United Nations press conference in Bonn. At the end of this highly productive weeks, students from each workshop shared their experiences, presented what they have learned and showcased a sample of their work.
