But many journalists and communicators’ careers have ended abruptly with errant tweets, stories and images that have led to legal battles.

FEEDBACK ON OUR COURSES

I learned how to polish my journalism potential with the evolving Artificial Intelligence, mobile gadgets, content curation of disinformation, misinformation and mal-information escalating fake news and social media utilization in delivering news to a diverse audience.

- Kearoma Komane  from Botswana on New Trends in Journalism course

This was an excellent course, has opened my eyes to the possibilities for online and mobile. The facilitator has outdone himself and even months after the course, he is still accessible.

- Fanelo Maseko from Loxion News on the Video Editing for Online and Mobile course

Social Media as Source and Platform: I learned how to think about social media as a professional tool and to see stories and events from an angle which can be used for our brand. The course was insightful and I also learned how to use these platforms with a goal in mind rather than just randomly
