Bournemouth Media School Appoints Country's First Online Journalist in Residence
Bournemouth University's renowned Media School has become the country's first Media School to appoint an Online Journalist in Residence. Between now and July, 2006, Liisa Rohumaa, Deputy Editor of the Financial Times website, FT.com, will help develop thinking about the place of on-line journalism in the curricula of the BA (Hons) and MA Multi-Media Journalism programmes, devise materials for the teaching of online journalism, act as a source of expertise for undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking online and multi-media projects, and deliver masterclasses and guest lectures. At FT.com, Ms Rohummaa leads a team of 60 journalists in London, New York and Hong Kong. She previously worked for the Daily Telegraph , BBC Worldwide magazines, NatMags and The Stage and said she was "very excited" to be taking on the new position. Bournemouth's Head of Journalism and Communication, David Bradshaw, said, "FT.com is one of the world's most prestigious online news sites and Liisa has played a leading part in its development over the past eleven years. Her impressive experience will be of enormous benefit to our students." The post of Online Journalist in Residence is funded by the Bournemouth Media School's Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP), the only HEFCE-designated centre for excellence for teaching and learning in this subject area in the UK. The CEMP previously funded a Scriptwriter in Residence to work with the School's post production specialists. CEMP Director Chris Wensley said, "One of the aims of the Centre is to develop further collaborations with our industry partners. The practitioner-in-residence scheme allows our students to work with media professionals to industry standards, thus producing confident, more reflective and better equipped graduates."
