Classroom Report / Final Day

By Shreya Viswanath

We started our last day of the summer Journalism Course with the daily newspapers.
Each of us had to scan the papers and look for something useful for us. An advert or a notice or an event or an article,
We shared our thoughts on this.

Resource person Vincent D' Souza gave us some tips on how to scan the newspapers, locate key and useful news leads and info and spoke on the importance of 'being informed'.
We ended this session with 'Open House' where each of raised questions and cleared our doubts.
We have ended the camp with an idea - a new blog site to be started by three of our fellow classmates.
They plan to focus on Thiruvanmiyur, south Chennai.
So, this course on the 'Basics of Journalism', which ran for 20 days, two hours every day, has come to an end.

Lovely initiative.

It'll take some time to weave style into reports to turn them into stories, but it is a goal well worth pursuing.

Keep going.

Thanks Anil for those warm words.

We hope to have more of these down the line.
