Chris Gray, BA (Hons) Journalism
Chris spent his childhood commentating on computer games in his room and used his time at Lincoln to pursue his passion for sports journalism by starting a show on the University's on-campus community radio station. Since graduating, he has gone from strength to strength, and is now working as a senior journalist at BBC News.
Choosing a journalism degree is about more than learning how to write articles. It’s about learning how to communicate clearly, think independently, investigate confidently, and adapt to a fast-changing media industry. At Lincoln, the course is designed to balance practical experience with a strong understanding of how journalism shapes society. That means you’ll graduate with both hands-on production skills and the ability to analyse the media critically.
This course is designed to help you become a confident multimedia storyteller and adaptable media professional. It is constantly updated to reflect what real journalists are doing, whether that’s developing traditional editorial skills or using new technology like AI to find and deliver stories.
Year 1: Build core journalism skills
You’ll develop the foundations of professional journalism, including:
You’ll begin producing content across different media formats and learn how modern journalists work in fast-paced digital environments.
Year 2: Develop professional confidence and advanced skills
As your skills grow, you’ll explore:
You may also have opportunities for industry placements or international experiences.
Year 3: Apply advanced skills and prepare for industry
In your final year, you’ll complete major journalism projects and create portfolio work tailored to your career goals. You will graduate with experience of producing professional-style journalism, and evidence of your skills that you can demonstrate to employers.
These include:
As the course involves developing a wide range of communication skills, assessment is varied and includes practical work, often in the form of timed exercises or news days simulating industry practice; projects; the collation of a portfolio of work; and presentations. The main part of assessment of theory-based modules is in the form of coursework, with some examinations.
This module introduces students to journalism's most fundamental vocational skills and techniques, and then guides them through the effective real-world deployment and practical use of these competencies.
Across the year, this includes providing the skills needed to identify news values and news factors; to find original stories and generate exclusive content; to interview and research effectively for a variety of different purposes; and to produce a range of journalistic writing suitable for a suite of different media platforms, outlets and purposes. The module also aims to provide students with both the personal road map and knowledge of relevant industry codes to empower navigation of the ethical dilemmas and debates which come with a career in the media.
The above will be done through highly practical and vocational teaching methods which place the emphasis on student involvement, activity and engagement, as well as a continual feedback loop to empower improvement and emphasise cross-relevance with other modules on the programme.
Assessment will come in the form of two portfolios which students work towards throughout the module.
Journalism students are required to abide by the law, in terms of newsgathering and research methods, data collection and retention, use of communication networks and publishing and broadcasting material to audiences.

Introduction to Journalism Studies highlights journalism’s vital role in democracy, from holding power to account to shaping public understanding of major events. It examines the economic, political and organisational pressures that influence how news is produced, alongside the changing expectations of audiences and the evolving relationships between journalists and sources. Key issues such as diversity, representation, ethics and professional responsibility are explored in depth, as is the transformative impact of social media and digital technologies on contemporary news practices. The module offers an essential foundation for anyone interested in understanding how journalism works, why it matters and how it continues to evolve in a rapidly changing media landscape.
The module provides a strong foundation for the range of practical multiplatform skills that graduating students need to succeed in the journalism and communications industry. All the teaching and assessments are based on current industry practices and production methods. However, as AI develops, the module will adapt to new methods of story gathering and delivery – and update teaching as more advanced software and hardware is developed.
Journalists need to understand how legislation is drafted and enacted in the UK and how journalism – the Fourth Estate – effects a check on Government and Parliament(s). This involves a study of the political, democratic and administrative structure of the Monarch as head of state, Parliament, the Prime Minister, Central Government, local government, the judiciary and EU institutions. Topics explored include constitutional government (the unwritten constitution), ministerial roles and cabinet government, political parties and MPs, the civil service, local government structures, councillors, best value and ethics in local government, and the government information service.
