Course details
Digital journalism is at the core of today's newsrooms - even those focused on broadcast. Media organizations all use digital tools to share their content, tell stories, and reach a broader audience. And increasingly all journalists are expected to research, file and share their stories online. In this course, you will learn what makes digital stories different from broadcast. You will also explore online tools like social media, data and visual elements to make your stories stand out from the rest. This is a hands-on course where you will practice where to find stories, how to pitch them to an editor, how to ask the right questions during interviews, and how to structure and write them for an online audience.
