As the countdown to Act Up's re-launch as Saskatchewan's official Indy Media Centre (IMC) begins, the Sask Media Collective will step up its efforts to turn ordinary citizens like you into crack reporters. Former Ottawa Citizen and Globe and Mail reporter Pat Bell will join Briarpatch editor Dave Mitchell to conduct a workshop on news writing tips, Sat., March 10.
"Active citizens make great reporters because they know the issues and
are deeply connected with community. What they often lack, though, is
access to media and confidence in their abilities," said Trish Elliott
of the Sask Media Collective. "We are fortunate to have two
professional journalists willing to share their skills and help build a
corp of independent citizen reporters." The event, which gets underway at 2 p.m., is free and all are welcome.
