I found the Journalism course at Stanmore School of Business to be a great introduction to the field. As a student from Egypt, I was interested in learning about the global perspective on journalism and how it differs from what I've learned in my local context. The course provided a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge, and I appreciated the examples of real-world applications. One of the most useful skills I gained was the ability to conduct effective interviews and write compelling stories. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, although I would have liked to see more diverse perspectives represented. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to learn about journalism.
