Sher's site. Because I live in Atlanta, it takes me
straight into the UK and European newspapers."

for journalists and can greatly enhance and reinforce
programmes. Julian Sher’s courses have helped
our journalists take advantage of those opportunities,
extended their skills and get items on air which would
not otherwise have been possible."

cybersources."

just for journalists, but a staggering array of online

- eventually - to practically any person or story
on the Net."
