Journalism workshop, by Diana Coogle

Do you want to write for the Applegater or another newspaper and are unsure about how to write in a journalistic style? The Applegater is offering a free workshop for anyone interested in learning these skills. The instructor is Diana Coogle, former journalism instructor at Rogue Community College; a writer for the Applegater, the Marshall Scholars Newsletter, and other publications; and author of six books. The emphasis will be on casting material in journalistic form—how to conduct interviews, how to use information from interviews, how to find a lede, how to organize the material, how to interest the reader, how to incorporate pertinent information, and how to write concisely, correctly, and engagingly. The format will be lecture-practice-discussion, in workshop style.
