GlobalGirl Media Academy 2016

We live in a culturally diverse country that promotes gender equality, and yet females and their views are under-represented — and often misrepresented — in the UK media. This summer, GlobalGirl Media UK will train its first cohort of girls in digital media! This is an an amazing opportunity for girls to create and share digital journalism designed to ignite community activism and spark social change. The course will cover:   »  Digital journalism   »  Video camera, sound and editing   »  Blogging, print journalism and writing for camera   »  Interview techniques   »  How to source and pitch a story   »  Social media for social change, how to use media to start a campaign   »  Leadership and civic activism The course also includes field visits to broadcasters such as the BBC, on-going support from a mentor and advice for furthering your career in journalism, as well as possibilities for international exchange with previous graduates and an online platform for your reports.
