Learn how to cover the news events in your community like a pro! The way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
You Will Learn How To:
Shoot video of news events and features
Interview community leaders, news makers, and everyday people
Report from the field and from the “studio”
Write stories that are compelling and engaging
Edit multimedia stories that you can share on YouTube and social media
How We Do It:
The course runs for two weeks
The class meets as a group in a Zoom session for one hour and 15 minutes on Tuesday and Thursday
Each student meets for a one-on-one brief Zoom check-in on two other weekdays each week
Additional one-on-one time is available as needed
Students do their shooting, writing, and editing on their own, outside of class time
Students will work with shooting any community event, issue, or activity
Students need their own smart phone or camera and editing software (iMovie is free on Mac and MovieMaker is free on PCs)
