Writing for Journalists

Not every writer is a journalist, but you can be. Whether you’ve never written an article or just starting out in the industry, your stories can make a difference. At fraycollege, we can help you bridge the gap between creative writing and accurate, factual reportage about real people and current events. Our training will help you on your journey towards writing a first draft, putting forward compelling narratives and showcasing people’s lived realities.

Good journalism is grounded in facts. It informs, educates and entertains consumers while guiding and empowering them to make the best possible decisions for themselves, their families, their communities and society at large. Journalism is about factual writing, and accessible information for all.

This course will help you cast a critical eye over the current media discourse and look at your own writing through a new lens, examining what works and what does not. You will learn how to write for impact, shine the spotlight on injustice and highlight the successes that are evident every day in the world around you.

Factual writing doesn’t have to be boring though –we’ll help you weave a compelling, creative and colourful story, filled with rich narratives and attention-grabbing real-world characters that will leave readers hanging on your every word.

Our Journalistic Writing eLearning course consists of training videos, games, exercises, resources, assignments, interactive discussions and a final quiz that will test your knowledge as well as coaching in the writing of a story.

If you’re looking for good, practical, writing training grounded in the principles of journalism and reportage, then this is the course for you.
