With Google’s support, Knight Center offers MOOC in Spanish on developing journalistic projects for the web

In an effort to promote the creation and development of sustainable and quality digital journalism projects in Spanish, the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas, with the support of Google, will offer this month the Massive Open Online Course (or MOOC) “Development of Journalistic Projects for the Web: an Introduction to Entrepreneurial Journalism.” Click here to register.

Google’s support will allow the course to be complimented with a special scholarship to recognize the best projects developed or perfected during the MOOC. The Google-Knight Center scholarship will be offered to at least six participants from Latin America and will consist in a trip to Austin, Texas to attend two digital journalism conferences that the Knight Center will host in April 2014.

This new massive online course in Spanish will be offered for free and last four weeks, starting on Nov. 18 and concluding on Dec. 15. The instructor will be U.S. journalist Janine Warner, an expert in digital technologies and author of 25 books on the topic.

This training program is mainly aimed for journalists and journalism professors and students in Latin America, but just like all of the Knight Center’s MOOCs, anyone in the world with access to the Internet can take it. More.
