Hey there, I'm Leila from India and I recently finished the Sports Journalism course at Stanmore School of Business. I gotta say, it was a pretty cool experience! I learned a lot about the basics of journalism, like research, writing, and editing, and how to apply them to sports reporting. The course was pretty well-structured, with a good mix of theory and practical exercises. I liked the fact that we got to work on real-life projects, like writing match reports and creating social media content for sports teams. The instructors were helpful and responded quickly to my queries. One thing that could be improved is the discussion forum - it was a bit quiet at times, but overall, I'm happy with what I learned and I'd recommend this course to others who are interested in sports journalism.
