There are just a few spaces left on our FREE West Leeds Dispatch community reporters’ training course, which starts early next month.
Would you like too hep tell the story of your community? This friendly and informal course runs over six, weekly sessions and offers a friendly and fun introduction to writing articles, taking photos and interviewing.
It offers wider help and guidance on everything you need to know to be a community reporter. We can even help with spelling and grammar!
Our free course is aimed at beginners interested in telling the story of their community and runs over six, two-hour sessions at Swinnow Community Centre.
There will be refreshments, cake and biscuits – and it looks great on your CV as you will learn transferable skills you can take into employment or studying. We hope you’ll go on to contribute many articles for us.
They’re run by West Leeds Dispatch editor John Baron, a journalist with 30 years’ experience who has worked for a variety of local newspapers, as well as The Guardian.
At the end of it, you’ll become part of the Dispatch family of community reporters and earn a community reporters’ ‘press card’ and lanyard, as well as gain increased skills and confidence.
You’ll benefit from ongoing support and access to our community newrsoom and community reporter events and workshops.
Our latest course starts from Wednesday, 2 April (7-9pm) and runs for six sessions finishing on Wednesday, 7 May. Sessions run at Swinnow Community Centre, Swinnow Lane, Leeds LS13 4RF.
