WEBINAR: The ten rules of reporting - journalism for the community

 

 

Newspapers are closing, reporters are disappearing and too often opinion is taking the place of reliable reporting. More and more, small community publishers are stepping up and providing coverage of important local issues. Now is the time to remind ourselves of the essential elements of good reporting - principles that we can all understand and follow.

 

• What does it mean to be impartial and balanced?

• How do I connect with my community?

• What is the 'public interest' and how do I find it?

• What's the best way to deliver diverse perspectives?

 

Join our webinar, held in conjunction with the Community Media Training Organisation, to learn the answers to these questions and more. 

 

 

Date: 3-4pm AEST, Tuesday, 15 August 2023 

 

Presented by: Alan Sunderland, the author of "The Ten Rules of Reporting", it will guide you through the dangers of fake news and spin, teach you how to get the facts and earn the public's trust, and make you a better reporter.
