Journalism 2.0: New Income Opportunities for Newspaper or Magazine Writers

What’s a blog? What’s a vlog? What is citizen journalism? What’s an aggregator? What’s a content creator? What about a wiki? And how do all of these Web 2.0 terms translate into more money and more control over one’s creative destiny for writers? Those are the key questions for aspiring journalists. At a time when newspapers are laying off thousands of writers per year, and magazines are going out of business left and right, there are new areas of print journalism that are growing in prevalence, power, prestige and profit.

Collectively,we refer to these fields as Journalism 2.0. Learn how easy it is to start a blog or vlog and to syndicate your work. Hear case studies of successfulpractitioners, including one man who makes $800,000 a year while working out of his apartment.

Bring your articles, writing samples, or even your ideas for columns or concepts for magazines to class and let the instructor help you re-shape them for the 21st century by turning them into blog, vlog or aggregator ideas that can give you creative and financial freedom. Or if you’re just curious about this brave new world in journalism, but have no clue how to get started or how far you can take it, then just bring an open mind and be prepared to have it blown.
