Journalism E-learning Course

Strengthening Your Journalism and Use of Data in The Digital Age

We’re offering a 10-week journalism programme including a two-day in person training in Jakarta. You will be part of the initial group of the first ever e-learning journalism training in Indonesia. This great opportunity is open to 20 Indonesian journalists, free of charge.

The course is designed for journalists who want to strengthen their writing and reporting skills – especially those focusing on politics, the judiciary, economics, the military and NGOs. At the end of the course participants will be able to accurately interpret data; confidently use statistics in stories; identify and frame institutional stories; and accurately source and verify data.

The e-learning course was exclusively designed and will be led by trainers from the Poynter Insitute News University (St. Petersburg, USA), one of the world’s leading online journalism training centres. It is organized by the European Journalism Centre (Maastricht, The Netherlands) and the Jakarta-based nonprofit organization focusing on journalism trainings and media development, Perhimpunan Pengembangan Media Nusantara (PPMN).
