MA Fashion Journalism and Content Creation

  • DeadlineStudy Details: MA 12 months

Course Description

MA Fashion Journalism and Content Creation is a well-established course that has been designed for graduates/professionals who wish to explore the changing face of fashion journalism and content creation, whether that be from an academic, consumer or entrepreneurial perspective. In the light of globalisation and numerous ongoing controversies surrounding the fashion industry, the course examines a number of sociological and ethical issues that are emerging for journalists and content creators. 

The course offers a proactive approach to the rapidly changing global landscape and challenges the role of the fashion media and examines how, as a practitioner, you can successfully disseminate your editorial message through it.   

You’ll be encouraged to challenge the current fashion system and develop authentic and provocative editorial strategies that could potentially have both social and politically active outcomes.  

Focusing on both the written word and the curated fashion image, the course will teach you expertise in both commercial content creation and traditional journalism as well as publishing; in short, how to be a commentator, editor, and entrepreneur, both digitally and in print.  

You will engage with a broad range of media and journalistic topics through a number of different approaches, from theoretical discourse, to vocational publishing and digital projects, developing a skill base that fosters a broad variety of expertise.   

Course content encompasses an in-depth knowledge of the fashion industry globally (in both western and non-western contexts), to practical editorial and technical skills that will enable you to assemble and create multi-platform products that incorporate both traditional journalistic and content creation skills together with more experimental methodologies.
