This Ontario College Graduate Certificate program is designed to appeal to graduates of Journalism, Photography, Advertising, Professional Writing, and Business programs, as well as, professionals in related industries who recognize the increased demand for online publishing.
Students learn both the technical aspects of setting up a web-based news publication and the business skills needed to develop and sustain advertising revenue to maintain publication. Special skills are addressed including writing for the web, computer-assisted reporting, graphic design, photography, and database management systems.
Located in the capital of Canada, Algonquin is well situated to offer this program to government employees who are required to publish online newsletters and other documents rather than print.
This is a mandatory laptop program and students are required to use a laptop computer that meets minimum hardware and software specifications.
