The course effectively emphasized the importance of storytelling that serves a greater social or ethical purpose, not just reporting facts. I appreciated the clear guidance on identifying meaningful topics, connecting with audiences, and maintaining integrity in reporting.

The content also encouraged self-reflection, helping me understand how my own values can shape my reporting. I would recommend this course to aspiring journalists or anyone interested in media who wants to align their work with a sense of purpose. It’s a concise yet rich resource for developing thoughtful, responsible, and audience-focused journalism.
