Podcasting for journalists

The skills needed for making podcasts are not the same as print or online writing skills; though, as in all journalism, the most important thing is having a good story to tell.

This short course will help you to understand what works when it comes to devising and making a podcast. It will equip you with the knowledge to get started in podcasting and to improve your podcasts if you are already making this type of content for your audience.
