JOURNALISM
SUMMER 2017 WORKSHOP
Spend one week
(five days) at our school learning the basics of what it takes to become a
successful reporter, in print as well as broadcast journalism.
We will talk
about researching those stories that will interest your market. You will learn how to develop sources,
evaluate and confirm information you are gathering, and how you apply effective
techniques to get the most out of your interviews.
You will get
into the fundamentals of good report writing and the effective spoken report,
including composing a lead that will make the reader or listener or viewer want
to know more. We will study how to
properly structure your report to communicate clearly its main information and
analysis and then tie it all together with a solid conclusion.
In addition to
developing your reportorial skills in the classroom we will go in to the field
to visit local news outlets to see how working journalists do their job.
These five days
will give you a firm foundation for deciding whether you truly want to pursue
journalism as a career and, if you do, the tools to make it a successful and
rewarding career.
