Journalism taster session
Join former Journalist and award-winning Journalism lecturer Lisa Bradley as she teaches you how to ask the right questions, find the best angle and write engaging news copy. By the end of this session, you'll be on your way to becoming an ace reporter!
Press conference and newswriting workshop
The session will begin with some pointers about how to ask the right questions, as well as how to figure out the best angle for a story. You'll then be involved in a mock press conference and encouraged to ask questions and make notes, before being given some time to pull together a rough plan for a story. After that, we'll re-group to share story ideas before wrapping up with a Q&A session with our student ambassadors.
