Workshop on storytelling for newspapers

With new technology and practices, storytelling has never been so complicated in pushing new ideas forward in a traditional news environment. On the contrary it is filled with great potential for readers, viewers, and users to fully understand the context of any journalistic story. Telling good stories is a challenging craft these days. Competition is not just the other newspaper in the town, it’s everything that might take up your target audience’s time.

The workshop will be led by Pailin Wedel, a visual journalist with clients including the Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera, Associated Press, Bloomberg and GlobalPost. The workshop will address how to add multimedia on a day to day basis.
