The Reynolds Center for Business Journalism once again proves that not all free online courses are created equal. A couple of months back I completed a course through them titled ‘How to be an Entrepreneur as a Business Journalist‘ and was impressed by how solid the series of courses was. Today I started another free course titled, ‘Investigative Business Journalism’ and it’s promising to be more of the same quality. My understanding is that the Center received some funding to conduct a series of free, on-going workshops to help further the professionalism of up-and-coming business journalists. It’s a wonderful idea that they have executed perfectly (imho); That is, they don’t appear to be holding anything back in order to hook you into buying “premium” content (the popular Freemium model). Rather, they honestly seem to be offering free, premium content and really want to better the field of business journalism. It is really surprising, at least to me, to see people acting so selflessly in the society we live in. The almighty dollar seems to consistently corrupt most any thought of furthering the human endeavor without a bottom line…but then comes courses like this.
