Since Multimedia Journalism edition two launched in October 2015, a whole raft of new news-publishing opportunities have come onto the market.

 They include offerings from the big players - Apple, Facebook and Google - plus some from lesser known ones.

 All are designed to make the mobile web work better, and to help publishers take advantage of much faster page loading speeds, a much better user experience, great design, and far greater reach.

 So,  as a student journalist, should you be publishing on one or more of these platforms?

 And, if you should, how do you go about getting your content on them?

 Actually one - Medium - has been available for a while, but it's really only gained major interest in the past few months.
 In this masterclass we'll answer those questions for the following:
 All five of these platforms have WordPress plugins associated with them that simplify and streamline the publishing process, enabling you to direct content to them from your Wordpress site - the sites we created in Chapters 2 and 8 of MMJ.

 As ever, this tuition is not meant to stand alone - it is a supplement to all we covered in the print and ebook textbook.
