About

This class has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

Extra! Extra! Learn the basics of newswriting in this three-part, hands-on workshop. Whether you read the news in black and white, watch on television or TikTok, there are essential elements to every newsworthy story. We'll discuss those elements, learn how to sift truth from rumor (and why it's so important) and put together our own news pamphlet with stories, images and opinion.
