In this workshop, you will learn the rudiments of classical journalism (newsworthiness, journalistic objectivity, lead writing), as well as those of more "activist" writing (op-eds, explanatory features) and new media. We will discuss the practical difficulties, the promise, and the ethics of employing journalistic tools to transparently and fairly advance an ideological agenda.
