When you choose the minor Journalism you form, together with other students, an editorial board, responsible for a variety of publications. As an editorial board we expect you to always be searching for news. You have to know what your target groups find attractive and important. You will regularly have to get in touch with people or organisations and confront them with your (critical) questions. You will have to dig up a lot of information by doing research. In the end, the information has to be processed into a journalistically-attractive format and you will have to decide which medium fits best to which (part of) the information: paper, internet, radio, television.

In this minor we seek collaboration with a few partners: The English section of the Hanze Mag(azine), the English radio programme HappyHourFM and their websites. Furthermore, we will work on extending the media we work for (creating a weekly tv programme, in collaboration with HappyHour and the local broadcasting organisation OOG is in reach).

In addition to this there are more roles to be played in an editorial board. These include:

• Convincing your target groups to read and watch and listen to you and marketing, PR and building up networks
• Helping to maintain the tools you have to publish, volunteering in the radio programme, helping out with technical things like website maintenance and
  development, finding possible advertisers and other third-party involvement.
