\n <\/p>\n

Transition Year students in Irish-medium schools are being offered a unique insight to journalism in an online course with some of Ireland\u2019s finest television, radio and digital journalists and broadcasters.
\n 
\nNUI Galway, Nuacht RT\u00c9 and TG4 are running the week-long Iriseoir\u00ed an Lae Am\u00e1rach<\/em> programme in conjunction with An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscola\u00edochta (COGG) and the Department of Education.
\n 
\nThe course is aimed at students in second level schools in Gaeltacht and other Irish-medium secondary schools and will be held via Zoom between 1\u20134 March 2021.
\n 
\nEach day a mix of material will be presented by a team drawn from NUI Galway\u2019s media and communications courses and from journalists broadcasting on TG4, RT\u00c9 Raidi\u00f3 na Gaeltachta and producing content for online platforms.
\n 
\nAward winning video journalist and filmmaker, Se\u00e1n Mac an tS\u00edthigh will share his skills and experience in compiling stories of a cinematic quality for TG4 and RT\u00c9. Gormfhlaith N\u00ed Thuairisg will give an insight into packing the difficult questions into Adhmhaidin<\/em>, RT\u00c9 Raidi\u00f3 na Gaeltachta\u2019s flagship current affairs programme. Television news anchors Eimear N\u00ed Chonaola and Si\u00fan Nic Gearailt will speak of the joys the trials and the tribulations of daily live broadcasting. Choosing and presenting stories for online platforms will be covered by Si\u00fan N\u00ed Dhuinn of RT\u00c9 Digiteach\/Gaeilge.ie.
\n 
\nThe course will also give an insight into following a career path in media along with providing stories for a sporting nation on GAA, soccer and horseracing will also be outlined and discussed.
\n 
\nProfessor Breand\u00e1n Mac Suibhne, Sti\u00farth\u00f3ir L\u00e9inn, Acadamh na hOllscola\u00edochta Gaeilge, NUI Galway, said: \u201cThe last few years, punctuated by the catch-cry of \u2018fake news\u2019, have made us all more conscious of the importance of quality journalism. Iriseoir\u00ed an lae am\u00e1rach enables Transition Year Students to see for themselves what journalism involves and it gives them experience that may help them decide if they wish to pursue a career in a field so vital to democracy and social justice. And it will also give them a sense of the opportunities offered by a BA at NUI Galway.\u201d<\/em>
\n 
\nTG4\u2019s Director General, Alan Esslemont said: \u201cIrish language journalism is core part of the TG4 schedule, and we welcome this collaboration with NUI Galway to encourage Transition Year students to consider a career in journalism.\u201d<\/em>
\n 
\nProgramme Director of the MA (Cleachtas Gairmi\u00fail sna Me\u00e1in), NUI Galway, Aodh \u00d3 Coile\u00e1in, said: \u201cThe European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has compared the vital role of journalists to that of \u2018public watchdog\u2019. Accordingly, the Court has afforded the press the broadest scope of protection. Freedom of the press is one of the great gifts of a democratic society. Perhaps now more than at any point in our history, Ireland needs free, critical, impartial and independent media.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNUI Galway, Nuacht RT\u00c9 and TG4 and An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscola\u00edochta hope that this vibrant new digital course will give an insight to students and perhaps encourage some to choose education in journalism or some aspect of media and broadcasting. The truth always matters.\u201d<\/em> concluded \u00d3 Coile\u00e1in.
