At Liceo Cavour, on wednesday 7th March, Paola Adragna, journalist of the online version of the Italian newspaper "Repubblica", held a workshop for the students participating in journalism projects of our school, both "YEurope" and "Cavò", our school magazine. Here is the report written by Margherita.
"PRETENDING TO BE JOURNALISTS "
How to improve our journalistic skills? Probably this is the aim of each of us and fortunately our school gave us the possibility to take part of a lesson about journalism. On 7th February, a journalist of one of the most followed newspaper of our country gave us part of her time to suggest precious advices to improve our project. Also the members of our school’s newspaper were with us and, because of this, she suggested us for both papery and digital news.
Firstly we talked about the topics of a newspaper read by students from different countries and with different ages. It is important to write articles which capture the attention from the title or the first lines. They don’t have to be very difficult, available also for teens who don’t know anything about the topic.
Another important thing is objectivity, we are just informing the reader and if we want to show our opinion we could tell that with citations of famous characters who pronounced them.
Following these few instructions we should make a better newspaper. Can we try? Why not!
