Delegates are taught to produce professional standard news copy. They study vocabulary, grammar, sentence/story construction and how to write "between the lines". They also learn a system for recognising what makes news and why it does so. The course was originally designed by Peter Henshall, a journalist who trained working journalists.
Delegates learn how to:
> Write crisp, clear copy
> Define news
> Identify all the news elements in a story
> Identify the strongest news angle for any given publication
> Structure a news story to reflect its news values and make it easy to edit for length
> Adopt a professional, disciplined and focused approach to writing news.
