Description

This workshop will let you learn to think like a reporter and write with impact to capture media attention and engage audiences. Former senior news editor of The National, and now freelance journalist Jennifer Bell, will guide you through how a newsroom works, what journalists expect in a press release, feature and opinion editorial, and provide techniques to help create compelling, engaging pieces.

2. How to write a press release that cuts through the clutter
3. Styles of feature writing: Which suits your story best?
4. Write an impactful op-ed: What do journalists need from your piece
