Welcome to Newsroom 101NR Image MBP

Many college professors find there is not enough time to teach students the grammar, usage, spelling and style they need in order to succeed in college and in the workplace. Newsroom 101 was created to help fill that need.

Thousands of students have used Newsroom 101 in courses in journalism, media, public relations and other fields where they need to learn the basics of Associated Press style and the rigorous standard grammar of journalism.

Like a Workbook or Lab

You can add Newsroom 101 to any course where students need practice in journalistic style and many aspects of grammar and usage. (Click on Content to see the topics covered in the 2,800+ exercises.) Use it like a workbook or lab where students complete the self-grading exercises on a schedule that you set.

All you need to do is make the assignment and track student progress — though we describe ways you can integrate Newsroom 101 more fully into your course.

Online Instruction in the Cloud

All students need is a computer, an internet connection and a browser. Smartphones and tablets also work.

Upon enrolling in Newsroom 101, a student pays $34.95 through Paypal and has access for the semester. Your institution can opt to pay this fee.

If you are being urged to adopt online instruction, Newsroom 101 provides a way to apply student-ready online instruction immediately, giving you time to develop your own resources later.
