About This Course
Traditional one-way journalism is becoming less popular, while social media journalism is on the up. But what do social media journalists even do? I like to think we’re the influencers of the newsrooms. We’re influencing social reform and pushing for justice. We do more than just tell stories, we’re a part of the news.
Join me, Asha Hussein, to learn more about harnessing the power of social media to report on the stories that matter, the stories that get your audience’s voices heard. This e-learning course on social newsgathering and reporting could help take your journalism to new heights… or new followers.
