In this three hour workshop, students work in pairs to take on the roles of reporters and editors. They choose, research and write news stories for web, as well as subedit stories, write headlines, choose photographs and produce their web page to a tight deadline. They learn how stories are structured, how editorial decisions are reached and how the news is made. Students will receive a printed copy of their web home page and one article they make and a set of all the students work will also be given to the school.
Company health and safety guidelines require 3 members of staff to be present for this workshop. Please only book if you can guarantee the attendance of 3 colleagues.
