Hey!!! The Humanities course at Indian Institute of Science-Undergraduate Programme is an opportunity to bring about synergy between the Humanities and Social Sciences (or ‘Human Sciences’) with the Natural Sciences. Here as per your demand I am providing you Curriculum of 5th Semester of this course: Course Description: The Course will be useful in acquainting students with journalistic skills which they may apply in their own work to observe and communicate better for instance or to their field as future science reporters, perhaps or as individuals who might have to explain science to the lay person. It also seeks to provoke thought on the practice of journalism, its tenets, its limitations and its influence with a view to encouraging a more critical engagement with media but also to position science within the media. Class 1: What is News? The media shapes society’s perception of what is newsworthy. How does one identify an event as news?
