Media Workshops

I\'m planning to run four media-based, in-person workshops at my home near Devonport, with a late October/early November start date. The course will include free induction material. The workshops have been well-researched. I will have them peer-reviewed.

My background is as a sports freelance writer. I\'ve been published by Stuff, the Herald and newsroom.co.nz (LockerRoom). I also teach English to second language learners.

I worry for the future of news, around issues of integrity and ethics. My goal is that workshop participants will care enough about the subject of news to want to become active in protecting its value and trust. And for participants to perhaps consider becoming involved in the media field through freelancing or more.

I\'ve tried to keep the cost reasonable.
