Year 2: Specialisation in London

The specialisation in Business & Innovation is hosted by City, University of London in the United Kingdom.

The Business & Innovation specialisation draws on the the Department of Journalism's expertise in both the theory and practice of journalism. It recognises that journalism is now charged with reporting a global political and financial landscape that is continuously less predictable. At the same time, journalism itself is facing an unprecedented need to innovate to remain relevant and viable.

The specialisation focusses on how journalism reports a changing business world, and how journalism itself is innovating in response to changing economic and editorial models. Business & Innovation makes use of its location in one of the world's media capitals, close to one of the world's major financial districts, to take advantage of its network of media contacts.

You will be coached by experienced, respected and veteran journalists while having access to top-tier equipment.

The specialisations in Business & Innovation and Totalitarianism & Transition offer more practical journalism training. On the contrary, the specialisation in Politics & Communication is more theory-oriented and focuses on substantive issues and empirical research analysing the content, production, and effects of journalism and other forms of political communication.
