Practical module During the practical module students produce an English language publication. See the magazine online: http://www.journ.msu.ru/multimedia/press/2013/15229/ 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. Sayeh Moradi (The Hague University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands) 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.
