News about the activities of the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas Knight Center Offers New Online Course in Portuguese: Introduction to Computer-Assisted Reporting Knight Center instructor Jose Roberto de Toledo explains in this video the content of the new course on Introduction to Computer-Assisted Reporting. The Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas offered a free online course entitled “Introduction to Computer-Assisted Reporting (CAR).” The course was offered in Portuguese between July 27 and August 23, 2009 and was taught by Brazilian journalist José Roberto de Toledo. Toledo, one of the founders of the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism and PrimaPagina, is a pioneer in the use of CAR in Brazil. Spaces in the course were limited and the Knight Center expected high demand. The students selected for the course were Brazilian journalists who work full-time in print, electronic, or online media, with a minimum of three years of journalism experience. Priority was given to candidates who work as field reporters and demonstrate an interest in using investigative journalism techniques on complex issues.
