We all have a story to share. It could be about a personal experience, a problem in your neighborhood or an issue that's important to your community. In today's media world, you can help people by writing and publishing these stories.
On Sunday, March 2 at 2:30 p.m., local journalist Dustin Block will teach a free class on community journalism at the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St. The two-hour class will teach participants the basics of news reporting, how to get their stories in the local media, and how to start a community blog. The goal of the class is to empower community members to use local media and to spread important stories to the public. Registration is recommended for this free program. Call the Racine Public Library at 262.636.9217 to reserve a spot.
The class is a great opportunity for non-profit organizations, local businesses, writers, community activists and anyone interested in the media to learn how they can offer and create alternatives to mainstream media sources. It's easier than you think! No experience is required. All you need to bring is an interest in your surroundings and a willingness to tell others what you see.
Block, former city editor of The Journal Times, is a veteran local journalist with 13 years of experience writing and editing news stories for various publications. He is now editor of the Insider News, founder of RacinePost.com and a freelance writer for publications including Milwaukee Magazine, Wisconsin Builder Magazine and ConsumerSearch.com.
