Learn to report, verify, write, and publish news and feature stories for digital-first platforms. Covers newsgathering and sourcing, interviewing, verification and fact-checking, writing for digital with SEO, multimedia storytelling, platform-native distribution, media law and ethics, and current AI tools in the newsroom — ending in a capstone multi-format news story.
Newsrooms, digital media brands and corporate communications teams all need people who can report, verify and publish for digital platforms, not just write. Graduates move into reporter, content writer and digital editor roles, or freelance as a stringer and contributor for multiple outlets at once, which is increasingly how working journalists build income outside a single newsroom salary. The capstone multi format news story is built to be published, not just graded, giving you a real byline to point to.
Aspiring journalists, content/communications staff moving into news-style reporting, community bloggers wanting professional rigor. No prior newsroom experience assumed — this is the Beginner-tier course in the catalog.
- Minimum age 16, basic digital literacy - A smartphone/laptop for writing, recording interviews, and basic photo/video capture - No prior journalism experience required
