Mastering good storytelling could well prove to be your key to success as a professional journalist – whether you are a freelancer or a staff reporter, or if you are just starting out.

This course delves into the secrets of winning over your readers and building a good relationship with the editor you sell your story to, or you work with if you already have a job in journalism.

As an award-winning reporter and editor with decades of experience, I have found that the skills taught here provide an edge in the competitive world of journalism. My reporting on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and on countries from India, to China, to Thailand benefited immensely from my use of good storytelling.

Mastering good storytelling – both the reporting and writing skills – will make your journey as a journalist more fulfilling. But it could also help where it matters – in getting paid and obtaining a job as a reporter. Editors like to work with journalists who submit engaging and professional work.
