About this Podcast

HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have Dr. Sarah Mitchell, the lead instructor for the Certificate Programme in Ethical Media Reporting. Dr. Mitchell, can you tell us about your experience and why this course is important to you? GUEST: Absolutely, I've been a journalist for over 20 years and have seen firsthand how ethical reporting can shape public opinion. I'm passionate about equipping future journalists with the skills to report responsibly. HOST: That's wonderful. Could you share some current industry trends related to ethical media reporting? GUEST: Certainly, there's a growing emphasis on transparency and accountability. Audiences are demanding more unbiased, fact-based reporting, which is exactly what our course promotes. HOST: Interesting. What challenges have you faced while teaching this subject or that students might encounter in learning it? GUEST: The biggest challenge is navigating the gray areas of journalism. Real-world scenarios often don't have clear-cut answers, so we encourage open discussions and critical thinking. HOST: That sounds like a valuable approach. Looking towards the future, where do you see ethical media reporting heading? GUEST: I believe ethical reporting will become even more critical as we navigate an increasingly complex media landscape. Our course prepares students to be part of this change. HOST: Thank you, Dr. Mitchell, for sharing your insights and experiences.
