Quality journalism can both inform and captivate by dropping readers into the course of action, drawing disparate voices into dialogue, and following the author's interests to a point of greater purpose. Participants will discuss examples of powerful journalism, explore what makes these stories stand apart, and experiment with a few lines of their own. Seating is limited, register below.
