This unit provides an introductory understanding of key research methods and practices relevant to media and communications, organised in 'clusters' such as multimedia, literary journalism, public relations, magazines and audio/podcasting. Cluster choices are dependent upon staff availability each year. Students will choose a 'cluster' by end of Week 3 and write an essay and media project proposal. The proposal will form the basis of a major project which they will complete in semester 2 in MECO4117 Critical Practice in Media. MECO4116 and 4117 are linked and 4th year unit choices should accord with this year-long structure.
