Course Description

Do you have something to report or say about your community? Our new community journalism certificate will help you become an active contributor to local news in Middlesex County.

Through this free, 8-week course, students will learn to produce compelling content based on the issues that shape their communities. Participants will learn essential tools, practices and values involved in producing journalism and their practical application in creating content for different platforms: including social media, print media, and more. Moreover, they will learn about the history of Middlesex County and how to engage with local government institutions.

The course format is primarily remote-live but will include a couple of live sessions. Students will complete one journalistic project and develop skills that will prepare them to continue their education in journalism or pursue related careers in communications, media, education, the nonprofit sector, advertising, business, and more.
