Between Ignorance and Curiosity: GWN Journalism Workshop

Those 5 Ws are just the beginning, really. What else can you ask? Once you have the facts, what do you do next? And how do you do it? Mentors and mentees will tackle these questions and more at this workshop, where they’ll also learn how to craft the answers they discover into thought-provoking articles. Highlights:

• Great icebreaker activities
• Prompts to jump start individual writing and mentoring sessions
• “Craft Talk: Journalism” featuring New York Times columnists Courtney Sullivan and Jennifer 8. Lee and novelist and journalist Vasugi Ganeshananthan
• And, as always, a healthy lunch!

• The Women's Studies Program and Ph.D. English Program at CUNY Graduate Center for co-sponsoring the 2009 Editing, Playwriting, and Journalism workshops
• The New York Times Magazine, VIBE, Allure, Latina Magazine, and Teen Ink for complementary copies of their latest issues for all our girls
