An ideal course not only for aspiring journalists but also for those who have been practicing journalism for many years. I really like strategies for improving skills of writing and reporting.

This course has really helped me regain my confidence as a journalist. I find the language focus part of the course very useful for me as well as others who are not native English speakers.
