The BA (Hons) Multimedia Journalism course was also shortlisted in The Awards For Excellence for the Innovation of The Year award for its interactive documentaries, which students create as part of the Features and Online unit.
The students producing i-docs have to do more than report the news; they have to create a news interface with branching pathways for their audience to explore. This means rethinking traditional notions of authorship and discovering new and effective ways to engage with online users. It involves re-conceptualising the notion of story.聽
