News Training

 This session examines techniques for webifying your radio story for the online audience. We also explore what makes a great web-native story.

We will also take a look at how to manage your time when producing content for several mediums. Some questions to ask:

2. What is most relevant?
3. What is the best use of my time?

Good headline writers to watch: Gawker, Quartz, The Atlantic Wire and Forbes.
