Course details

"Gave me the foundational principles for understanding the art of telling a story"-- UDEMY STUDENT

"Gives you the tools to write news stories that will captivate readers and gain the right followers" -- UDEMY STUDENT

Ever dreamed of becoming a news journalists for a top national or international newspaper?

Or maybe you're looking to sharpen your news-writing skills to the level of the world's best reporters and editors?

Perhaps you're a blogger who wants to learn how to present news articles in a more professional way?

If so, how would you like to know the writing secrets of the world's best newspaper editors?

Here's your chance to learn from someone who has taught some of the most high-profile journalists how to improve their storytelling.

"Most great teachers can't write, and most great writers can't teach. Shani Raja is one of the few who excels at both. I managed dozens of reporters and editors during my 12-year career at Bloomberg News. Now he's the person I go to when I want help with my writing." NICOLAS JOHNSON, FORMER BLOOMBERG AND GLOBE AND MAIL EDITOR, AND POLITICAL CANDIDATE FOR PARLIAMENT OF ONTARIO, CANADA.

"As a young reporter my prose might have been robotic and jargon-laden if not for Shani's watchful eye and attention to the elusive human interest behind ostensibly technical stories. Beyond the standard (yet crucial) reporting skills--like accuracy, clarity and integrity--I also learned refinement, how to withstand impulses toward glibness and cynicism that can naturally set in when oft revisiting the same beat. Shani will teach you how to write well, and with grace." HAWA ALLAN, WRITER AND LAWYER.
