The South Africa-based Institute for the Advancement of Journalists (IAJ) will offer a series of skills courses throughout the month of March. The courses offer an opportunity to learn new and improve old journalism skills.

Five courses will be offered in two day periods starting on March 2 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The courses will focus on writing and delivering speeches, devising media strategies, skills for working on the Web, writing opinion pieces, and creating electronic newsletters.
