Journalism Workshop II: Pitching Your Story
Thursday, March 23, 2023 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm CET/GMT+1P24 SR5
In the second workshop, we will briefly discuss which news writing techniques we can use for which media environment. Students should come with a news draft/proposal to pitch at this workshop, which will now function as a news room.
This event is part of a series of three workshops, led by Ayşe Çavdar. These workshops will introduce BCB students to the basics of practical journalism, through discussion and hands-on work writing and editing stories. Students should commit to all three sessions, and will be expected to do reading and preparatory work and to have individual consultations between sessions. Students who satisfactorily complete the workshop series will be eligible for 2 ECTS credits.
To enroll in this workshop series, please write to Ayse ([email protected]) by Friday March 10, 2023.
