DOSSIER: A Journalism Workshop for the Climate Change Centre Austria

What makes a good story? How do you craft a compelling opening? And how do you write engagingly about a seemingly dry topic? In the writing workshop, the facilitators work together with participants to explore the fundamentals of journalistic writing, learning how to tell stories in a gripping and accessible way. Alongside practical examples of the right writing style, the workshop also offers tips for successful publications: the trainers show how to structure and write a press release so that it attracts attention and gets picked up by the media.
