What is the difference between the Journalism and Freelance courses?
Although in some areas the Journalism and Newswriting course and the Freelance and Feature Writing course are similar, there are major differences. The Journalism and Newswriting course is designed for those who plan to work as employees of their chosen publication – specifically those who will be employed in the area of news and current affairs reporting, either for print or broadcast media. People taking this course will probably want to be employed by the company for which they work. The Freelance and Feature Writing course is aimed at those who want to write individual pieces, often specialising in a specific area of interest or knowledge, which will be marketed to more than one publication. People taking this course may well become self-employed writers, with no single publication taking all of their work. Many freelance writers are employed in another capacity, and do their writing as a hobby or for a second income.
