I am really touched by the way the course content is designed. Special thanks to John Cotton, Eve Nova Litt. Their diction is awesome and the content out lay is superb. one question to them after learning this course can we take the role of the Journalist, Blog writer . Indian council for Working Journalists do recognize this certification is my concern. Other wise my special thanks to Pennsylvania State University for giving me this opportunity to study, learn, strengthen the skills of my desire.

Whatever I am expressing here is from the depth of my heart. Although, I did my Masters in Mass Communication in Karachi, Pakistan; this amazing course taught me so differently, and eloquently. The lecturers of this course are wonderful speakers as they teach both in the most humble manner and professionalism. Last, but not least, I will highly appreciate the team of Coursera that created this amazing learning platform. Naumann Ahmed Ansaari Professional Journalist Digital Content Creator

I think course has a great influence on me because I am a student majors in journalism and communication,so I need to improve my skills on it.The course has tought me a lot of professional skills about pitching,writing,broadcasting and so on,I had a complete learning about news.But there is an error through checking others' homework which is someone give grades freely and have no responsibility baout others,so I think it is necessary to rigid some rules to restrain somenone's behavior.

I really enjoyed doing this course. I aspire to become a journalist in the future and this course gave me a fair understanding of things like the principles of Journalism, how it began, the challenge of the Digital Era and how it differs from the Traditional Era. All valuable information that I will take with me in future studies. I would recommend this course to anyone seeking to enter into the field of Journalism or for persons who has a desire to improve their English.

Thanks to the coursera that gave me this opportunity to increase the level of english writing, and helped me to understand some concepts of journalism. I was very happy to follow this course because it was facinating, and very encouraging to study the theory of journalism, as well as english grammar. Teachers have also explained everything more clearly, the video, and readings were very supportive , and vocabulary learning have been relevant to this course. Thanks

El curso es bastante completo, las actividades por unidad son muy buenas, interactivas y me parece excelente que tenga actividades y lecturas extras para practicar un poco más. Propongo un nivel dos de este curso de inglés en el que se traten temas como periodismo de investigación, de datos y de análisis. El vocabulario sería más extenso y técnico y ayudaría a personas que ya llevan tiempo en esta profesión ¡Gracias por permitirme formar parte de este curso!

Excellent course., logically-organized, taught brilliantly by John and Eve. I loved every moment of it, especially writing the assignments and being reviewed by peers and learning by reviewing my peers. I've learnt so many things- pitching, designing the lead, writing a news report, digital journalism, broadcasting, the tenets of traditional journalism. I found the course enriching and rewarding. Thank you Eve and John. I will recommend it to my friends.

The course took me on a absorbing journey by simplifying what would have been a difficult task to embark on. Right from get go, objectives were outlined without ambiguity. I found the teaching module enriching to say the least. I gained a lot though I wasn't a rookie in journalism before going through the course, the experience has helped enormously in broadening my frontiers and scaling up my news reporting skills. It was simply awesome!

Being true to their journalistic principles, John Cotton and Eve Litt have presented a clear, concise and consistent approach to teaching this course. I'm more aware of how to consume both traditional and social media effectively and responsibly. Accuracy, objectivity, fairness, impartiality, accountability are journalistic elements that I'll forever embrace in all my interactions. Many thanks to everyone involved in this program.

The course (English for Journalism) was invaluable as it enabled me to develop a better understanding of the basics of English writing for journalistic assignments, the

various important principles of Journalism that must be followed & the various aspects of news reporting. The course content was lucid in style which made it easy to understand and allowed me to test my knowledge at each stage. I am extremely happy that I enrolled.

The best online course! A repetition of knowledge from journalism and learning English in one. I am delighted! Thank you to the lecturers. Although we didn't meet in person, I have the impression that I know you! I hope that I will still be able to take another course at such a high level. I am particularly grateful for the funding. This was very useful, especially in times of epidemics. Thank you Penn and thank you Coursera!

A highly informative, applicable& easy to follow course by absolutely knowledgeable professors. The thorough, well-organized& engaging course content reflects the the professionalism & the extensive knowledge of the professors in this field. Really looking forward to enrolling in other courses by the same professors & University of Pennsylvania. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to learn from you.

This course has been wonderful. It has equipped me with the right skills and education i need to improve as a Media Sociologist. I'm grateful to the Instructors, the University of Pennsylvania, through the COURSERA platform, for providing some of us this opportunity. This is the right platform in my mind to grow, especially for journalists.

THANK YOU ALL... Nicholas Dweh Nimley, from Monrovia, Liberia.

In the beginning I was a bit afraid, but then I realized that this course is going to be full of interesting things and a new eprencie for me. I like journalism, however this is not my profession. I do like writing about different topics and I am glad that I could have improved my English during this course. Well recommended for everyone who are interested in news and happenings all around the world.

I think this is a really good course for those who want to be introduced to the world of journalism! It helps you to improve your english language skills and to develope your journalistic skills and knowledge. You can really learn a lot. The two instructor are really competent and they teach you this world in a way that is very understandable. I really enjoy this course and I recommend it very much!

I really liked this course! It's perfect for the beginning journalists or people wishing to gain new qualifications. Although 15-years education, my English got improved by a new (mainly journalistic) vocabulary I hadn't known before. The biggest advantage is the fact, this course doesn't include only lectures and quizzes, but also practical exercises of creative writing.

The Coursera and University of Pennsylvania's English for Journalism was a great structured course that covered the principles of journalism, how to interview, broadcasting, while also improving overall writing skills. I used this course as a knowledge top-up, and found it extremely beneficial and would recommend to anyone looking to improve their journalism skills.

This is my first on-line course and the first acquaintance with the American educational system. I am quite impressed. I like all the stuff that I met - content, teachers speech manner, logic, structure, approach, the combination of lectures, texts to read and tests. I am really grateful to the Coursera team and Penn University as well. You do a great job!

For me, this course really taught me a lot of things such as writing a pitch, making an article and knowing the principles. It really is something since I didnt know a single thing about journalism and after taking this course, I've gained more knowledge than i ever had! 10/10 recommended for those people who really finds interest in journalism.

Great process of learning. This is my first course in Coursera. I loved learning English for Journalism course. Instructors John Cotton and Eve Litt have taught lessons excellently. Assignments and Quiz are very helpful in testing our knowledge time to time. Waiting to take up and finish many more courses from this wonderful website. Thank You!

English for Journalism has broadened my intellectual capacity about Journalism. The course has sharpened my writing skill, how to write effectively by constructing sound English and how to write professionally by employing the principles of Journalism.

This is a course that must be recommended to all Communicators, in the field of Journalism.

Amazing teachers! The teaching and the video animation made the grasping the concepts really easy. The projects were designed really well and were a major contributor to the entire learning experience. The multiple choice questions at after every video lecture helped with registering what I learnt into my memory and testing my understanding!

The course gives the learner a good introduction to the field of journalism. It gives the history and principles of journalism and the art of writing for media. Moreover, the course is useful for a beginner as it provides one with the information regarding the use of tenses and different words in a media writing. It improves language skills.

I learned so much from this course. I love writing, but have never explored journalism before. It helped me greatly with my writing skills. The structure of the course is also great because the videos aren't long, but are still packed with information. I highly suggest taking this course if you enjoy journalism or simply writing in general.
