Once a curiosity, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have now become mainstream. And for business journalists, cryptocurrency represents an important new area of coverage. SABEW’s next training session will cover the fundamentals of how digital currencies work, how they’re here to stay, and what the outlook is. We’ll also talk about some of the nuances of covering cryptocurrency and storylines you should be watching.
