Looking to acquire or update your digital skills in the ever-changing media world?

The University of Maryland Philip Merrill School of Journalism has asked the Newspaper Guild to let Washington Post workers know about its new program — Graduate Certificate Studies in Multimedia Journalism.

The University says classes will focus on digital storytelling across media platforms, particularly the Internet and mobile devices.

The University describes it this way:

“Our new Graduate Certificate of Professional Studies in Multimedia Journalism focuses on the skills most in demand today for communication workers in news organizations, nonprofits, and business.

“Multimedia Journalism blends practical training in video, audio, photography, blogging, and interactive Web publishing with the critical application of editorial, ethical and legal principles in digital media contexts.”
