The main focus of the learning in this knowledge module is to build an understanding of stress and time management in relation to creativity in view of the fact that journalists often have to a) report on traumatising stories and circumstances, or in situations of actual physical danger, and b) work to multiple, strict and sometimes conflicting deadlines.
This module focuses on the ‘soft skills’ you need to develop to be a good journalist. In it we consider stress and time management, interpersonal skills, conflict management and thinking skills for content generation.
