About
Session 1: We'll review what citizen journalism news looks like by looking at the roles needed to create a workable citizen newsroom and at successful citizen journalist sites operating around the country.
We'll look at what interests each class member has and help define the roles to be played in the workshop. These include, but are not limited to, writing news reports, investigative reporting, cultural reporting, and video shooting, as well as the roles of editor, graphics, website coordinator, and content producer for creating shows for Bremerton Kitsap Access Television.
Session 2: Skills training. We'll look into each of the types of positions and review the key skills you'll learn and develop as you help shape our news site.
Session 3: Learning by doing. Workshop members will take on a role and help create content for a "beta" site. This might include writing an article, posting about important events, interviewing class members or friends for a video component, and a mock investigative report.
