Taught by SPT Enterprise Editor Kelley Benham. Here, with her permission, is the About This Course:
In this class, you’ll tell stories. A story is not an article. You’ll learn the difference.
You’ll turn on your old friend, Inverted Pyramid, and embrace new story structures and new tools for storytelling. You’ll learn a new kind of reporting. You’ll learn to listen. To see and to think. To be still.
You’ll learn to gain altitude, to zoom in on the smallest details, to love precision, to accept freedom, to take control.
You’ll read some of the best journalism that has ever been done, stories that make you want to give up now, while there’s still time for law school, because you’ll realize how hard this is to do well.
You’ll learn, fairly quickly, how bad you want it.
