Getting high quality digital stories out into the world quickly and consistently has become critical for online publications and businesses alike to build audience. While the two audiences of traditional and web media have converged over the last five years, you might be surprised by what makes the content so different! How can you write stories for the web, and how should you produce digital journalism as print or video to live online? What should your consideration be for graphics or a mobile experience?

CreatorUp
CreatorUp was started by Mike and Sara, two USC Film School alumni who loved making new creative projects so much, they wanted to keep film school going every day. But they saw the entertainment industry changing at such lightning speeds from analog to digital, and knew they would have to find a way to keep learning fast to keep working in the world of media. Their solution to this rapidly changing digital landscape was simple: high quality instruction taught by working top industry professionals, offered affordably and conveniently. CreatorUp changes old education models to suit every type of learning style, schedule, and budget, always staying true to the hands on applied learning approach Mike and Sara had in film school. Thousands of students have already learned from CreatorUp about how to improve their creative skills, make new projects, and find more work in this exciting new creative economy. Will you be one of them?
