This one-day course builds upon the self-study you have already completed during the online module. Having reviewed the changing media context, relationships with journalists, and compelling content, you will now have a go at pitching your stories and completing practice interviews. This course is suitable for those relatively new to engaging with the media and will also provide practice and feedback opportunities for those with existing media engagement experience.

In order to attend the practical, in person, workshop delegates must have completed the online module
