This graduate certificate is designed to appeal to recent graduates of programs such as Journalism, Photography, Advertising, Professional Writing, Business and other related programs. In addition, this program will appeal to workers in related industries due to the increase in on-line publishing. This program will teach not only the technical aspects of setting up a news web-based publication but also the business skills needed to develop and sustain advertising revenue to maintain such a publication. Special skills will be addressed such as 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 now required to publish newsletters, etc. on-line rather than in print.
