Getting the Whole Story:
The Ins and Outs of Long-Form Magazine Journalism

• Wednesdays, July 23 - August 13 (4 sessions)
• 7-9 pm
• The Ink Spot

During this four-week course you will report, write, and edit your own piece of long-form (6,000 word) magazine journalism. You'll learn the tools and techniques you need to get your interviews and transcribe them, crystallize your ideas, adhere to facts and ethics, achieve your word count, be both entertaining and exacting, satisfy your editor and your audience, and, most importantly, meet your deadline. Participants are requested to bring a tape recorder to the first session.
