Our January digital journalism workshop aims to demystify the skills needed to produce high quality, attention-grabbing digital journalism.

Hosted by Mary McCool, digital journalist at BBC Scotland News online, it will provide insight into digital journalism’s relationship with its audience and discuss the benefits and challenges in pursuing a career in digital journalism.

If you’re a print journalist who wants to learn how to make their stories sing online, or if you’re a digital journalist keen to know more about your beat, this is the event for you.

Our panelists are:

Nicola Love, news editor at The Herald (print and online)

Lucy Small, digital video and social media journalist at BBC Scotland News online

Mary will be in conversation with Nicola and Lucy covering the following topics:

Who are we writing for?

What makes a good digital story?

What makes a good headline? (And why it’s different to clickbait)

‘It’s all about clicks’ and other misconceptions…

This will be an invaluable workshop for all journalists looking to upskill and add value to their stories in the digital age.

Tickets are £7 for non-WiJ Scotland members and £5 for members. If you cannot make the event but would like to be sent a recording of the workshop the following day, please select 'Catch-up recording' (£5). To book click here.
