Do you have a great idea for a story and would like some help telling it?
Interested in citizen reporting and looking to learn more about publishing online journalism?
If so, you may want to attend free multi-media citizen journalism workshops being offered on three Saturdays – May 23, May 30 and June 6 from from 10:30 am – 4:30 p.m. at Millennium Library, 251 Donald St.
From focusing your story idea to writing an outline, from taking photographs and shooting video to recording audio and crafting your final draft, this training will help you publish and promote your story online.
Sessions are free, but advanced registration is required. Each day has three different workshops (one in the morning and two in the afternoon). Participants register for the entire day but are not obligated to attend all the sessions, and instead can pick and choose individual sessions to attend.
CNC Training Sessions Spring 2015 marks the 7th installment of workshops offered every spring and fall since 2012 by CNC, a citizen journalism initiative funded by Knight Foundation and The Winnipeg Foundation, in partnership with The Winnipeg Free Press, Winnipeg Public Library and Red River College.
Descriptions and times of sessions are available here: CNC Training Sessions Spring 2015
Training is not required in order to submit content to CNC, as ongoing editorial assistance is provided to citizen reporters by CNC’s Convener free of charge throughout the year.
Workshop participants are encouraged to register online as a citizen reporter with CNC.
If you have any questions, contact Noah Erenberg at nerenberg@cncwpg.org or 204.944.9474.

I like the new session format and scheduling. I attended many CNC sessions in the past, when they were held on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have always found the course content practical and the instruction geared to wide ranging skill levels. The sessions I have attended have been stimulating, inspirational. CNC provides a super platform for local stories, for commentary, for journalism and feature writing. Thanks to the partners who keep CNC alive: The Winnipeg Foundation, Knight Foundation, Red River College, the Winnipeg Free Press and the Millennium Library! Special thanks to the Convenor/Editor and the many guest speakers. Above all, thanks to the contributors whose stories are interesting, heart-felt, genuine! CNC is a great read!
