Migrant Community Media Summer School - Journalism@UL
The Department of Journalism held Community Media Summer School. The initiative focused on training diaspora communities from across the country.
Attendees received training in a range of media and technical skills required to sustain multimedia platform publication along the community model of diaspora media production. The summer school was a comprehensive programme of training in migrant/diaspora community media production. Attendees were from a broad range of backgrounds, including academia and those who had worked in the media in their displaced countries.
Participants explored the challenges and opportunities associated in producing diaspora and community media; content production processes; defamation and media culture; brainstorming and content development; information gathering, writing; web production; sub-editing and multimedia formats as well as leveraging social media platforms for news distribution.
The summer school was coordinated by a team of experienced journalists in the School of English, Irish and Communications. Established by Dr Audrey Galvin, colleagues, Dr Kathryn Hayes, Dr Niamh Kirk and Aoife Sheehan delivered masterclasses in their respective areas of expertise. The summer school received funding from Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Outreach Fund.
