Mastering good storytelling could well prove to be your key to success as a professional journalist, whether you are a freelancer or a staff reporter, or if you are just starting.
This course delves into the secrets of winning over your readers and building a good relationship with the editor you sell your story to, or you work with if you already have a job in journalism.
As an award-winning reporter and editor with decades of experience, I have found that the skills taught here provide an edge in the competitive world of journalism. My reporting on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and countries from India to China, to Thailand benefited immensely from my use of good storytelling.
Mastering good storytelling – both the reporting and writing skills – will make your journey as a journalist more fulfilling. But it could also help where it matters – in getting paid and obtaining a job as a reporter. Editors like to work with journalists who submit engaging and professional work. Good storytelling could be your key to success in your journalism career. If you have been struggling to get going in journalism, this could prove the kickstart you need.
Master Good Storytelling Journalism will provide you with a step-by-step guide to researching, reporting and writing stories that sell – or that keep your editor happy.
The course guides preparation, the reporting process, including the secrets to look out for in good storytelling, and how to use these important elements in the writing of engaging stories.
The course works for beginner and intermediate journalists who want to improve their reporting and writing skills. And it keeps in mind the important challenge of getting paid for your work.
Crucially, it provides insight into how to keep your reader engaged – but also into how to keep your editor happy, with them seeking more stories from you.
Keenness to improve your journalism reporting and writing. Ownership of a laptop or PC, and notebook and a pen.

Over the two decades, I have trained journalists and people completely new to reporting in how to pursue great journalism. My training draws on four decades of reporting, including interviews with the Dalai Lama, being bombed in Afghanistan, hanging out with guerrillas in northern Iraq, covering hill tribes in Thailand, having run-ins with the Mafia, covering threats to the environment, and chasing entrepreneurs for business stories. I’ve worked on both sides of the desk – as a reporter and as an editor – as well as managed news agencies. I am passionate about great storytelling and investigative reporting.
