    website, with illustrative images throughout;

  * comprehensive lists of the most useful apps, themes, sites and plugins;

  * a guide to producing multimedia content online, including images,
    infographics, videos, podcasts and live streaming;

  * expert interviews with professional journalists working successfully
    online;

  * a glossary of terms.

By bringing together real-world advice, detailed walkthroughs and practical tips and tools for best practice, /WordPress for Journalists/ will inspire young journalists and content producers who are looking to widen their skill set and build their presence online.
