Participants will practice identifying trends, conducting thoughtful interviews, and writing copy that conveys their unique perspective as a shrewd media consumer.

In this session, we’ll hone our reporting skills by observing what works (and doesn’t work) in the viral celebrity interviews dominating your feed today.
