If you're serious about journalism, you should be serious about
journalism training.
News University (NewsU) is an excellent
resource for motivated
journalism students.
The site, a project of the Poynter Institute
that is funded by the
John S. and James L. Knight Foundation,
offers interactive,
self-paced courses for journalists of all levels of experience. Most
courses are free and take only an hour or two to complete.
Journalism is a competitive field. Developing your
abilities could help land you a position at your college newspaper, or
an internship, or even a job with a local media outlet. So take
advantage of these resources. Who knows? Maybe you could
get your teacher to give you some extra credit for it.
This is not an exhaustive list, but includes only those courses we
think will apply to high school journalists. Check out
NewsU's
official course list for a complete rundown of what's offered.
