Citizen journalists want respect. Often, the absence of an organizational code of ethics is the only thing holding them back. Take this course and become a Global Press Institute certified ethical practitioner of citizen journalism!

Citizen journalism is largely unregulated. Still, the number of citizen journalists and bloggers being sued for libel is on the rise. As a citizen reporter, you have many advantages, but you also lack the safety that comes from working within a corporate structure.

If you want to elevate your practice to the next level and learn about media law and your rights and responsibilities as an independent news producer, then this is the course for you.

In just a few hours you will learn the basics of a responsible reporting practice, get a crash course in libel law and learn how adhering to a code of ethics actually makes your job easier. After successfully completing this course, you will receive a certificate and an online seal for your blog or website that will let your readers know you are a certified ethical practitioner of citizen journalism!
