Introducing: jfa WORKSHOPS!
We are launching our first workshop series as part of the jfa human rights journal’s mission to amplify underrepresented stories on justice and human rights, as well as guide first-time writers and creators through the storytelling process.
As part of the Storytelling Basics series, this first workshop is titled Journalistic Writing 101. Joined by award-winning journalist Neha Wadekar, we invite you to spend an hour with us on September 8, 2020, 2pm - 3pm BST learning all about the basics of journalistic reporting, including:
The keys to writing a feature article fit for a print or digital platform.
Tips on how to structure a new piece to keep it informative and interesting.
The importance of sources, and how to go about finding them.
Neha is a multimedia reporter whose writing and video has been published in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, CNN, Foreign Policy, TIME, Reuters and Quartz, among others. Based in Kenya, she covers issues on gender, technology, migration and climate across Africa and the Middle East, bringing light over complex stories at the intersection of these fields.
This workshop will be on Zoom and is open to all. We particularly want to encourage participation from people who may be structurally marginalised and are struggling to break into journalism.
