American Journalism Online 2022

Caitlin was working in digital marketing as a copywriter prior to beginning her AJO studies in September 2020. One year later, through an AJO connection, she landed a job as a full-time freelancer for The US Sun, covering breaking news, money, tech, and more.

Everything about this program has exceeded my wildest expectations. AJO empowered me to go after my dream of being a working journalist and helped me gain the skills and confidence to do so. Every course has been instrumental in helping me develop and strengthen my skill sets, from pitching to writing to broadcasting to reporting to networking and everything in between. From day one it was obvious that the professors are there to help you succeed and will go above and beyond to ensure that you’re gaining everything you need to thrive in this industry. It is the best feeling in the world to have found my confidence as a journalist in a program where I’ve been supported by my colleagues and professors alike.”
