Citizen Journalism Workshop - Garlic Festival Edition!

In this two-session workshop, you'll learn the basics of citizen journalism from local journalist and media consultant Jennifer Pittman ... just in time to cover the world-famous Gilroy Garlic Festival!

The first session (July 18) introduces key concepts of citizen journalism and includes hands-on training on multimedia tools - from HD cameras to your smartphone - that you can use to capture video and audio for your stories.

The following weekend (July 24-26), you can try out your new skills at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.

The second session (August 1) is an opportunity to share - and improve - the stories that you began at the Garlic Festival. We'll also help you edit the audio and video content that will accompany your print story.

Workshop sessions:
Session 1 - Saturday July 18 9am - 12pm
Session 2 - Saturday August 1 9am - 12pm
