Ever thought of media training?

WHAT has a PR done for you lately? In The Greatest Freelance Writing Tips in the World, I discuss the relationship between journalists and PRs and have written about this previously for Press Gazette.

Have you ever considered turning the gaps in a PR's knowledge of how you operate to your advantage? Journalists Sally Whittle and Guy Clapperton have done just that by building a team of trainers to help eager account executives get to grips with what journalists want, what they really, really want, a-zig-a-zig-aaah. (Sorry couldn't resist.)

the:101 provides a range of courses for PR professionals. I'm now on the team along with fellow JournoBizzer new recruits Catherine Cooper and Louise Tickle.

You can check out who the other trainers are here and here.

If you are looking for other training opportunities, I posted the following on the Freelancewritingtips.com Facebook group recently:

London based Media & Journalism college seeks experienced journalists to train short writing courses on a freelance basis. Our courses are aimed at professionals and are one or two days long, the maximum class size is usually 5 delegates.

Our most popular courses include News Writing, Feature Writing, Creative Writing, Sub Editing, Proofreading and Interview techniques.
