This is concise enough to learn the complexities of Social Journalism.
very helpful
The course made me understand the importance of social journalism in propagating relevant news and issues to the public. Before we can write or publish anything, there must be a checklist to follow and values to uphold. Whatever we write must be grounded in truth and accountability. Social media must also be utilized properly to share information. Overall, this course was full of insights and easy-to-understand topics! :)
