Designed to provide a solid refresher in basic journalism skills and techniques, this workshop places special emphasis on applying these skills creatively within the corporate environment.
Journalists writing for corporate publications and those who put together in-house newsletters, will be coached on how to write specifically for their niche markets, while also learning how to transform often dry in-house material into vibrant organisational tools.
Participants will be asked to bring their corporate newsletters and in-house publications to the workshop for analysis, and will be given assignments to work on during the course of the programme.
Key areas of focus include:
Developing a keen ‘nose for news' within a corporate environment
Simple methods to brainstorm ideas
Finding a story - even within the most technical or complex of issues
Effective research techniques
Targeted interviewing skills
The ‘human' component
Colour writing skills
Corporate profiles: the people behind the issues
