This upcoming week the first-year students of the School for Journalism in Utrecht, The Netherlands, will experience their first Orientation Week. The students have the whole week to get familiar with a certain journalistic medium, in this case new media.
We have organised a week around the theme ‘Fact Checking’, an important topic to deal with in a journalism department. During the week all students will research Dutch regional and national newspapers and check the facts. Guest lectures by Miro Lucassen, Patrick Pouw, Peter Olsthoorn, Thom Meens and Patricia de Rijck will give the students examples from ‘the real world’.
After one week of research the students will publish the results on our new weblog, factchecking.nl
