In this two-hour workshop, students gain first-hand insight into the fast-paced world of news production. Working in pairs, they select stories, edit text, write headlines, and decide how best to present news content to an audience.
They explore the decision-making processes behind editing and presentation, learning how language, tone, and layout shape how news is consumed. Students will receive a printed copy of their work, and the school will be provided with a set of the class’s output.
