These pages, set up by Morris (Don) Price, are undergoing continuous revision and updating . Why the yellow background colour? To make for easier reading, especially if you have dyslexia. Why no fancy images (banners excepted)? To shorten download times, especially if you have an old browser. Anyone may read the pages. To participate in Q & A sessions, discussions, to leave comments, recommend books, or add useful links you will need to email me: m and ep_AT_ang elfire _DOT_ com (remove spaces etc to make it work). As there is a lot of junk email please put an appropriate word in your subject line, or you could fall victim of mass deletion. Your comments may form part of these pages as they develop. Experienced journalists and/or educators please also feel free to join in; all insights are valuable. Handsworth College in Birmingham, England, started running introductory courses in Journalism in 1987. The most recent version was a module of the college's Access to Higher Education course; all versions were approved by the National Council for the Training of Journalists. An experienced former journalist with over 20 years' service in the profession (myself, now retired) was the tutor. Access courses are for people aged over 21 who lack the qualifications normally required for university entry. Former students who completed the Practical Journalism module succeeded in various ways: a number gained university degrees, others became staff reporters or part-time freelances, one is Editor of a community newspaper and another is Features Editor of a respected national weekly.
