About this badge
While text is still the foundation of publishing, new tools, mediums, and platforms--including websites, books, podcasts, video programming, and social media--are taking storytelling in new directions. The new digital landscape requires a new way of telling stories, as well as a convergence of editorial, marketing, and production skills to conceive, produce, sell, and distribute them. Learn how to produce and disseminate innovative digital stories on a variety of platforms by exploring relevant groundbreaking projects: features on news sites (The New York Times, The Verge), learning academies leveraging audio and video (Slate), fiction podcasts (Archive 81, The Truth), book/app projects (The Pickle Index), and social media-based novels and mini-docs. This course is designed for marketers, editors, and production staffers working in book, magazine, and newspaper publishing, as well as journalists and authors looking to break new ground in media.
