Community journalism combines elements of traditional journalism with the new opportunities brought about by digital and social media. Professional journalists, academics and the wider public are increasingly paying attention to community journalism and hyperlocal websites.

This course hosted by the platform FutureLearn  and organized by the Cardiff University's Centre for Community Journalism  is open to anyone with an interest in journalism or social and digital media. Within a 5 weeks duration, the course will cover, within 5 weeks, core journalism principles, skills and practice as part of the course, as well as hands-on skills in creating and sustaining hyperlocal sites.
