I took the Executive Development Program in Journalism at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a solid experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from journalism fundamentals to advanced topics like data-driven storytelling and social media engagement. I appreciated the flexibility of the online format, which allowed me to balance my work and study commitments. The program's emphasis on practical skills, such as writing, reporting, and interviewing, was also helpful in refreshing my skills and learning new techniques. While some of the course materials felt a bit dated, the instructors were knowledgeable and responsive to questions. Overall, I'd recommend this program to journalists looking to upskill or reskill, but I'd suggest being prepared to supplement the course materials with additional reading and research to get the most out of it.
