Course Description:

'' The majority of private and public sector institutions now publish information on-line and aim to maintain an integrated presence across all media output. The MA in New Media Publishing enables you to understand the processes involved for achieving this by taking a project from concept to completion as well as investigating contemporary issues surrounding new media use.

The course teaches you how to understand and implement the technologies used to publish using new media including preparing and manipulating different media types, developing your own website using a content management system and learning design and programming techniques.

Publishing using digital media often involves a high degree of teamwork, client negotiation and project management. Learning about the lifecycle of new media projects and developing the necessary management, communication and design skills to undertake them professionally is also a key area of study. You bring all of these skills together with the development of a professional new media project.

The course also focuses on the history of publishing using new media, thereby contextualising contemporary practice. The course is an intensive programme taught in three modules that have been designed to give you both theoretical and technical skills as well as practical experience.

The Project Lifecycle module enables you to understand the necessary stages and procedures required to take a new media project from pitch through to launch. Working with a client, you will work in small teams to deliver a professional project. This module enables you to understand the lifecycle of professional new media projects and to develop the practical skills in management, communication and planning necessary to undertake them.

The Investigating New Media Publishing module enables you to investigate and research the application of new media across various platforms and within differing contexts. It introduces historical, political and theoretical issues surrounding the use of new media in publishing such as the development of standards, the open source movement and the evolution of cultural phenomena such as social software. The module will also enable you to ascertain the affect that new media has had on the publishing industry.

In the Practical New Media module you will identify and develop the practical skills and conceptual understanding necessary to create and manage new media work to a commercial standard.
