Journalists worldwide interested in social media are encouraged to apply to the Kiplinger Fellowship at Ohio State University. The course runs from March 30 to April 6, and the deadline to apply is November 30.
The Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism is helping journalists discover new ways to tell important stories in the digital age. In one intensive week – Wednesday, March 30 through Wednesday, April 6, 2011- you’ll learn how to use social media to build a following, develop sources and more effectively cover your beats…Twitter, deep web searches, digital footprints, SEO, the backchannel and more.
You’ll also learn how to tell powerful online stories that break through the noise and grab attention. Stories that help people understand why in-depth reporting matters more than ever. Stories that make a difference.
The week-long program will help journalists utilize Twitter, digital footprints, search engines, the backchannel and other media tools. The fellowship includes accommodation and a travel stipend.
Print, broadcast and online journalists with at least five years experience are eligible to apply.
