“Journalism is the crucial frontline against the techno-populism sweeping the planet” (Carol Cadwalladr 2024). This course is for those interested in writing across medias as freelance journalists. It offers opportunities to develop skills in writing to deadlines, pitching ideas, researching and interviewing practice. Students will explore the techniques and context of writing as activism and bearing witness, and experiment with specialisms such as reviewing, travel and nature writing, lifestyle writing, current affairs and other forms by using a practical toolkit of writing exercises, feedback and discussion.

Dates: 29/01/2025 - 26/03/2025
