I highly recommend this course to anyone who feels inadequately equipped to navigate the ever-shifting world of news journalism in the digital age. Taught by leading practitioners in the field, this course is accessible, challenging and rewarding. Learning about the key skills we need to know when we encounter a news story - provisional truth, evidence, context, sources, storytelling, angle, fairness, independence, balance, and bias - I came away from this course feeling better equipped to take on sloppy or non-credible journalism, confirmation bias, fake news, and the like. It also helped me to recognise and note down credible news sources and understand the responsibilities and skills of both the news producer and us, the news consumers.

Excellent

nice

Excelente curso para empezar a analisar noticias en los medios de comunicación!

Great content very informative, the explanations are simple and understandable even for students that have not previous knowledge of the topic.

I loved this course and was very informative . Thank you Anne and Steven and the team.

rich of information and methods

Excellent, short and concise. Offers clear and usable methods for critical thinking.

Thank you, Thank you so much!

I got great bravery via this course to next step for my future by grace of you^^!!

Very informative and clear and there are some assignments to make us understand more. But there are too many links that we have to read, I prefer the video and examples and assignments.

This course gave a lot of insights to become a critical and responsible news consumer. The modules had a convenient length and the amount of examples helped a lot to understand the issues.

Useful and meaningful as we are living in an age of information overload, the ability to make sensible application of information is just too important. Thanks

It is an essencial course for any responsible citizen

Informative and nicely paced. Expectations are not challenging to meet. Nice pace to follow at your leisure. Solid grounding in the subject. Quality relevant examples.

I was expecting a good class, but this exceeded my expectations. Well worth the money!

Really enjoyed this course. Lots of good information on how to identify fake news.

A super course, and available at just the right time. With journalists and journalism under assault, it's time for news consumers like me to have a better understanding of what we and our communities are up against. I truly appreciate that now I have a framework (and tools) to look at what is out there, which is helping me know what I think better and gives me strategies to talk constructively with friends and family when talking about the news. The past election, and now these first weeks of the new administration, have been real brain bangers with respect to what passes for truth in the news. As I began, a super course, and available at just the right time!

From its clear explanations to its relevant examples, I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I highly recommend it for anyone who's not sure what news is, what "fake news" is, what journalism is and how to get better at explaining all of these to others.

Great course and

excellent presentations and very useful references to online resources and services. I learned to evaluate the quality of news I am consuming but also got instructions about using helpful tools to assist my pursuit for quality journalism.

Excellent coverage. Enjoyed the resources. Gained a great deal from taking this course.

Great course.
