WRITE YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS

What journalism can teach you about effective communication


A FOUR-PART ONLINE COURSE, ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS, SEPT. 9-18, FROM 11 A.M. TO 12:15 P.M. EDT

Whether you’re a professional who wants to tap into what makes the world’s best-known news organization shine or a newbie looking for ways to push your communication style forward, you’ll find these sessions chock full of actionable tools, tips and feedback. We’re experts at telling the world’s stories. Let us help you tell yours.
This course will help you:

  • Learn principles of journalism and writing that you can apply to your work in any field
  • Understand how writing and editing can make you a better communicator
  • Craft a story by learning the fundamentals of reporting, story structures and writing on deadline
  • See how effective writing has changed the world
  • Network with your peers to get their insights on writing for your audience

Weekly sessions start on Sept. 9. You can join live or watch recordings at your convenience.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON:
Premium writing critique from an AP editor


If you’d like feedback on your writing, add on an optional premium writing critique at registration. Submit a piece of writing of 500-1,000 words for review and written feedback by an AP editor who will assess it for writing style, clarity and overall effectiveness. This can be a professional or personal piece of writing; it can be written for this occasion or an existing piece.
