A 3-day campus workshop from Emmy Award-winning journalist Megan Rivers, teaching student journalists how to find the human being inside breaking news — and turn it on deadline.
Most programs teach students how to gather the facts and hit a deadline. Megan teaches the part that's harder to grade: how to spot the human moment inside an ordinary assignment, earn it in an interview, and write it so an audience stays.
It's built from a five-market career of day-turn reporting and live television — the real playbook, taught the way a newsroom teaches it: assign, report, critique, again.
Don't forget the people.
Never miss deadline.
Language, craft, and performance.
3 consecutive days, 4–5 hours per day — lecture, field work, and on-the-record critique
College journalism and broadcast students with basic reporting experience
Best in cohorts of 12–25 students so every script gets a live edit
A finished day-turn package, a pitch they can defend, and written critique
A classroom with projection, phone or camera kits students already use, and access to a nearby field location
A newsroom guest lecture, a career/reel review session, or a student-media Q&A
