    About the Course

    Being a successful journalist is more than hunting down information. How journalists process the information, then put it together, are key steps
    for news reports. You will learn the process, planning, requirements of how journalists develop their news reports. There are many ways to
    report news reports, and you will learn different forms of how to perform reporting and writing to serve different audiences. This course also
    explains the different formats within journalism, beyond the written word and how they are best utilized.

    Fantastic Class! I have a BA in Journalism and I felt the Coursera/MSU SoJ Classes were indeed tougher and give a much better example of 'real world' than you will find in most class rooms.

    The quality control of the course is not very good. Some videos repeat the same take twice. Some questions are misplaced. Some of the peer review prompts are placed as questions for the student, which causes confusion.

    The lecturers are very little personal. i.e I dont connect with them so I dont get too inspired and loose motivation with this particular course (not the subject).

    I feel a bit like in a sausage machine, yet there are not enough students on the course to review my assignments, or for me to review assignments. I keep on having to go back to, a for me completed course, to see if there is anyone I can review to get my certificate.

    This goes for all of the courses in the series, regretfully.

    It just keeps getting better.

    Each course is a healthy and robust expansion upon the last. My knowledge base continues to expand: My writing in general has become honed, my videos and pictures have enhanced. I am getting more compliments on my presentations.

    This course builds nicely upon the last 2 with a focus on how to successfully carry your news and reports to your readership.

    As always, instructors are varied in personality, their individual rhythm and cadence is appealing. I feel a deep sense of engagement with the material. The slides behind the instructors are thoughtful and well-placed; bulleting key topics. I felt I was honestly both learning and understanding the material.

    I experienced both personal and professional accomplishment in this course. I am signing up right now for the next one.

    This component of the specialization is indispenable for gaining the core skills and values of a practicing journalist. Earning trust and confronting sources, international journalism and its risks.. stay up-to-date with the fast-changing field of journalism on multi-media.

    I highly recommend this component of the specialization.

    Special shout-out to Ms Grestner for delivering her contents with strong conviction, which was especially apparent in Week 5 on the challenges of a journalist. Hearing her personal sharing definitely cemented the why and how to retain our sanity as journalist.
