An online training curriculum being developed by leading organisations
in the journalism and programming fields is beginning to take shape.
Organisations behind the "Open Journalism on the Open Web" initiative include the Hacks/Hackers group, the Media Consortium, the Mozilla Foundation, and the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, which launched a journalism-programming degree in 2008.
The course will cover a different topic each week for six weeks and participants, who can sign up via the course site, will be given reading material, assignments and seminars working towards an overall project.
Initial topics proposed include creating and using maps, collaboration in digital journalism and coding basics for journalists. Subject matter experts involved in the programme, who will lead participants on a weekly basis, include: Amanda Hickman from DocumentCloud; Chris Amico, interactive editor of PBS NewsHour; Spot.us' David Cohn; and Rich Gordon, director of digital innovation at Medill.
The course will start on 15 September and runs until 27 October.
