StoryTelling for Media Activists
with Kristin Schwartz
Are you involved with or interested in alternative media? Do you
wonder how to develop a story, research and interview people from a
social justice lens? OPIRG-York presents a workshop for media
activists on the do's and don'ts of alternative and activist
journalism. Facilitated by community journalist Kristin Schwartz,
we'll be discussing story ideas, how to prepare and research, and tips
for interviews.
This workshop is geared for media activists involved with all forms of
media: radio, print, podcasts, web, zines and more!
