You don't have to be famous to make the news.

This IAP, find out how to craft a news story from pitch to publication. You'll learn to interview sources, dig for facts, find narrative, and structure a story. Along the way, we'll pull back the veil and show you the day-to-day operations of MIT's independent student newspaper, The Tech, and expose journalism triumphs (and blunders).

Participants will each write a news story for workshop and receive one-on-one feedback from Tech editors. Participants may be invited to publish their article in an issue of The Tech.

These are practical communications skills that will help you in your academic and professional career, not just as a volunteer at a student newspaper!
