Industry visits The programme includes visits to different Russian media outlets

What I like the most is that we went to the Moscow Times, Russia beyond the Headlines, Russia Today and some other media. You can talk about the media during a class but it is still a theory. We asked the editors how they find news, how they cope with Russian laws and so on and it was really useful to learn about their practical experience.

I chose this course because I would like to look at journalism in the different perspectives. I am studying the web Journalism and when you are studying the web journalism you understand that it doesn’t belong to any particular country. I hoped to get an insight into how the web journalism in Russia works and I discovered a lot.
