African journalists can enroll in a free online storytelling course.
Thomson Foundation, in partnership with Africa No Filter, is offering the course “African Stories: A guide for journalists on how to tell better stories about Africa.” This course will guide journalists on how they can be part of a pivotal storytelling change taking place in African journalism, telling the untold stories through the eyes and lives of ordinary people.
Journalists will learn how to challenge the stereotypical image of Africa and Africans, the importance of understanding their audience, how to source and verify stories and information, and more.
This is a self-paced course.
Journalists who complete the course will receive a certificate and get a chance to pitch their stories, get paid and published.
Registration is ongoing.
