What’s it about?
This comprehensive and ambitious training course uses a special model to help participants recognise and then create compelling mobile multi-media journalism. The aim (in over three to five days, depending on group size and level of experience) is to acquaint staff with the skills needed to devise media which will make news, encourage debate and raise the profile of key issues important to the audience. Our teaching methods blend real-time practical exercises with lecturing that analyses best current practice and new media developments. Participants will be encouraged to assemble a personal action plan for post-course use.
