Time

10:30am to 1pm

How can communicators – from broadcasters, to writers, to PR teams – avoid dreaded parachute reporting and talk fairly about communities exploring alternative economic ideas? 

This one-day workshop will give you a practical introduction about how to identify, structure, and pitch stories about the new economy that inspire, educate and explain. You will leave with an understanding of what makes a good story, how to go about reporting, and some ideas to continue working on at home.
