Learn journalism from people who do it every day Real techniques. Real stories. Real skills.
We connect you with working journalists who've covered everything from local government to international crises. They'll show you how they actually work, not just what the textbooks say.

Why people choose us
We built this platform because we saw too many journalism courses taught by people who hadn't reported a story in years. Our instructors are active professionals who bring their current work into the classroom.
Instructors who work in the field
Every teacher currently works as a journalist. They bring real examples from stories they're covering right now, showing you the actual decisions they make under deadline pressure.
Watch how they actually work
You'll see screen recordings of research processes, listen to actual interview recordings, and review real editing decisions. Not staged demonstrations, actual work footage.
Templates they use daily
Get the pitch templates, source tracking sheets, and fact-checking systems instructors rely on. These aren't theoretical frameworks, they're documents from working newsrooms.
Learn at whatever pace works
All content stays available after enrollment. Pause when you're busy, return when you have time. No arbitrary deadlines pushing you through material before you're ready.
Feedback on your work
Submit your stories, pitches, or interviews for review. Instructors provide detailed feedback based on newsroom standards, helping you improve specific skills.
Study from anywhere
Join from Ukraine, Nigeria, Indonesia, or anywhere else. Time zones don't matter because all sessions are pre-recorded with full transcripts available.
Making journalism education accessible
Traditional journalism programs cost tens of thousands and require relocating to specific cities. That's not realistic for most people who want to learn reporting, especially in countries where journalism salaries are low.
We started this in 2016 with a simple idea: connect aspiring journalists with working professionals at a price people can actually afford. No geographic restrictions, no arbitrary prerequisites, just direct access to people doing the work.
Since then, we've helped people from 47 countries develop journalism skills. Some went on to staff positions at newspapers. Others freelance while maintaining other jobs. Many just wanted to improve their reporting for community blogs or local publications.
Different ways to go deeper
One course teaches you specific techniques. But journalism skills build on each other over time. Here's how you can keep developing after your first masterclass.
Specialty tracks
After completing a foundational course, you can follow specific paths like investigative reporting, feature writing, or data journalism. Each track includes 3-5 progressive courses that build on previous skills.
- Courses designed to work together sequentially
- Projects that apply techniques from multiple classes
- Instructors who teach across the track for consistency
- Portfolio development guidance throughout
Mentorship programs
Some instructors offer ongoing guidance beyond their courses. You'll work with them on your actual stories over several months, getting feedback as you report and write.
- Monthly video calls to discuss your work in progress
- Email feedback on drafts and pitch ideas
- Introduction to editors when your work is ready
- Career advice based on your specific goals
