In this webinar:
The Storytelling You webinar concerns how to better execute every facet of long-form reporting and writing. Longform features get almost twice the engagement time on news sites as regular pieces. Many newspaper writers and editors want to do great long-form pieces and this webinar is a deep dive into how to do it better. It draws on Paul Kix’s own experience as a best-selling author and National Magazine Award-winning journalist, and the insights of the people with whom he’s worked over the years: other NMA winners, Pulitzer Prize winners, and MacArthur Genius Grant recipients. This webinar covers how to identify a story and how to pitch it well; how to report and structure that piece; and then how to do it again in a media environment where writers and editors are asked to be ever-more entrepreneurial.
