Key Features
By taking the Capstone - Create your own professional journalistic portfolio course offered by Coursera in partnership with Michigan State University, you will create your own professional journalistic portfolio, culminating in the creation of your own news report from start to finish. You will go through all the steps and skills used by professional journalists: conceptualizing a news report idea, reporting, interviewing, researching, and then compiling the information for an audience.
Your learner community, along with the Michigan State Journalism team, will be with you every step of the way.
Having a professional portfolio will help you market yourself as a journalist, showing off your work product, as well as practice and hone your journalistic skill set. You will receive an exclusive premium "Journalism" badge for social media, to display your Capstone completion.
