Media Workshops
Kia ora :)
I'm planning to run FOUR MEDIA-BASED WORKSHOPS with an early November start. Dependent on interest, the workshops could be held IN-PERSON at my home near Devonport.
Or: ONLINE, through Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
The course will include free induction material. The workshops have been well-researched. I will have them peer-reviewed.
REFER TO THE ATTACHED PDF on what will be covered in the four workshops, and the cost of each, which is: $60 per workshop- I hope I've kept this as reasonable as possible in this current economic climate!
*NOTE* I'm open to the idea of people paying what fee they can fairly afford, instead of the set rate.
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.
Any questions, most welcome.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
