On to the next!

Dear Journalism friends,

Well, the exam for a success! I've got an A+. So happy the way it turned out.

Now I need to think about what comes next. I have the choice between two topics I guess: Preventive Journalism and/or Open Source Journalism. Both modules are rather short so I don't have to stress about them so much. I think I will start with Preventive Journalism. But not until the weekend. :)

So I've received some messages from some bloggers about this program I'm in. I would like to share this information with all of you who read my blog. But thank you to those who asked. I will happily answer these questions.

I've decided to take an online course in Journalism because of lack of time. I'm working full time and don't have time for classrooms. At the same time, I would like to improve my living situation and study journalism in the hopes of becoming the next Christiane Amanpour some day. And make more money! So this course gives me the opportunity to study after work or on weekends in order to get a certificate which qualifies me to apply for jobs within the journalistic field. I was so happy when I discovered this newly established school with headquarters in Berlin, Germany. We communicated through the cell phone app "Whatsapp" which is big in Europe. That was my first approach. It was cheaper than a long distance call (as the app is for free) and quicker than sending emails forth and back. So the staff is very modern and very straight forward with everything I needed in order to apply. Very helpful overall.

If you need some more "advice" on how to get in or what you need for this course, I'll happy provide you with this information, too. Just so you know, there is a lot of distance education programs (even in journalism) out there. I chose OSJ because they seemed very modern and very easy to deal with. Also, I like the prices a lot more than what other places offer. Those where the main factors for me that counted.

Decisions like that aren't easy! But once I made that decision, I didn't regret it even for just a second.

Well, that's all for today. Back to work (study)!

Come back next week,
Katy
