I am a veteran journalist with a long career in the wire services in the Caribbean (Associated Press) and I now teach Internet reporting at a private university in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is probably the only digital journalism course in the entire Caribbean region.
I have been at it during five years and through trial and error I have developed a solid curriculum which students in my class enjoy and comprehend. During 16 weeks I teach them the origins of the Internet, the concept of cyberspace, the Web, search engines for news research, documents types, navigational tools, principal news sites and styles, the architecture of a news site, legal, ethical and nettiquete issues, online communities, the nature of Blogs, domains and convergence. At the end of the semester the students must have done three multimedia packages for Internet and they also design their own web site. The best articles are published in local e-news sites. which serve as workshops for the class.
