help both newcomers to public relations and improvers.

Each course is self-contained, but News Writing would be better
tackled first, as it teaches knowledge that is assumed in Writing
Feature Articles.

What will I learn?

Delegates are taught to produce news copy to a professional standard.
They study vocabulary, grammar, sentence and story construction and how to write “between the lines”. They are also shown a system for recognising what makes news and why it does so.

This course was originally designed by the late Peter Henshall, a journalist who trained working journalists.

• Write crisp, clear copy
• Define news
• Identify all the news elements in a story
• Identify the strongest news angle.
