Media Workshops

Paul from Devonport

Kia ora..
I'm planning to run four media-based, in-person workshops at my home near Devonport, with a late October/early November start. The course will include free induction material. The workshops have been well-researched. I will have them peer-reviewed.

My background is as a sports freelance writer. I have been published by Stuff, the Herald and newsroom.co.nz (LockerRoom). I also teach English to second language learners.

I worry for the future of news, around issues of integrity and ethics. My goal is that workshop participants will care enough about the subject of news to want to become active in protecting its value and trust. And for participants to perhaps consider becoming involved in the media field through freelancing or more.

See attached for further information on what will be covered in the four workshops and the cost of each- which I've sought to keep as reasonable as possible :)

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

(Trev from Tamatea kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Trev!)
