Find a Great Guest
January 20 hands-on news workshop

January 20
8 AM – 12 PM
Students Union Building (Room TBA)
University of Alberta
 

Finding the right interviewee can make the difference between a so-so story and a stellar one. On January 20, join CJSR and Edmonton-based journalist Kim Nakrieko to learn how to find just the right person.

This free half-day workshop is aimed at volunteers who already have some experience working on CJSR news and spoken word programming.

You’ll hear stories from Kim about chasing interviewees for radio and TV, get a chance to share your own experiences, and work together on finding a guest for a real story.

Come prepared with story ideas you’ve been itching to get on air.

Breakfast and refreshments will be served.

Limited space available. RSVP by January 16 by emailing news@cjsr.com
