Yahoo News The new rules of women's media: An evening class with VICE UK's executive editor
The media landscape looks vastly different to how it did ten years ago; content is more interactive, more online and more accountable than ever before. As a journalist, how do you ensure your writing is relevant, engaging and empowering, while also putting your name out there as a force to be reckoned with?
In this high-impact class, Zing Tsjeng will be joining us to show you how the tone, format and interests of women’s media is changing, and how you can - and should - put yourself forward.
A leader in creating women’s media that is fun, creative, engaging, digitally-focused, progressive and deeply relevant - the kind of content that women want to read, listen to and share - Zing is perfectly placed to take you through exactly what makes an effective feature, what editors look for in a pitch, and how you can make your work more interactive and shareable.
You will cover all bases of progressive women’s media with a leader in the industry, and come away with the knowhow and confidence to expand your own portfolio and get your name out there.
This class is a must for any and all women looking to make their mark in the media.
