Open Letter To Journalism Educator

News University: Please offer a course for journalists who want to report on Bitcoin intelligently.


News University is an online media and journalism training program run by the Poynter Institute, which  is "dedicated to teaching and inspiring journalists and media leaders," according to newsu.org/about. They offer hundreds of online classes for journalists trying to improve their craft.

To Whom It May Concern:

Bitcoin has received much media attention lately and much of that attention has been applied by journalists who do not fully understand it. 

Poynter's News University is in a unique position to educate journalists on how to report on Bitcoin intelligently. 

I am agnostic as to what journalists choose report about Bitcoin. I just care that when they do so, they know what they are talking about.

Would you consider offering a course through your service that educates interested journalists on the basics of Bitcoin and how to report on it effectively?

Sincerely,
