| dc.description.abstract | This supplementary examination paper for CMA 323, "Journalism," is a 3-hour assessment totaling 100 marks. The paper is structured into two sections: Section A (compulsory) and Section B (answer any two questions). Section A, worth 40 marks, focuses on the role and principles of journalism as a public good in the contemporary media landscape. It requires students to critically discuss fundamental journalism principles, drawing from a provided quote by Akana (2024) and considering challenges faced by news consumers in democratic South Africa. Additionally, students must compare and contrast the two dominant writing styles available to modern journalists. Section B, worth 60 marks (30 marks per question), offers a choice of three essay questions. These questions delve into ethical considerations and practical aspects of journalism. Students are asked to analyze a hypothetical ethical dilemma using Louis Day's ethical roadmap, compare and contrast consequentialist and non-consequentialist ethics as moral frameworks for journalists, and identify and discuss five types of broadcast interviews beyond the commonly known ones, providing characteristics and examples from their social environment. The examination aims to assess students' theoretical knowledge, critical thinking, and practical understanding of journalism ethics and practices. | |
