Here's a fascinating offer from the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas: A free online course in Spanish in How to Write for the Web. Excerpt:
The Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas is offering the online course “How to Write for the Web,” from Nov. 16 – Dec 20, 2009. The course will be taught by Colombian journalist Guillermo Franco, based on his recent book How to write for the web. Applications will be accepted online until Nov. 1.
The free five week course has been designed specifically for the Knight Center. Using Franco’s text as a central reference, the book combines exercises and concepts that help journalists understand how to write for the digital platform in a variety of contexts.
Space in the course is limited to applicants from Latin America and the Carribean that work as full-time journalists for online news media as reporters or editors. Online journalism instructors can also apply.Those aren't the only requirements, but it sounds like a lot of fun. Franco's book is available for free downloading en español and em português
