Day 2: newspaper readings begin

This is a standard practice at our camp.
Participants are invited to carry the day's newspaper to the sessions, choose a news story and read it aloud.
It helps to discuss the story idea, the content and the utility.
We started with a monsoon alert story and ended with a gruesome accident in the districts.
Each story had leads to be shared.

Most participants had done the mapping assignment and even had a few story ideas to offer.

It was also time to share a brief over view of a newspaper organisation.

There was an animated discussion on what one could photograph and when you needed to take permission to take pictures.
Participants have been invited to carry their cameras with them and take pictures of interesting and newsworthy subjects. These will be posted on the blog.
