We were so lucky to have the incredible @theeyeopener crew at the conference, doing tours of their newsroom, teaching how to run a kickass student paper, giving one-on-one feedback and generally inspiring teen journos! THANK YOU! #journalismnow@sarahkrichel
A quick tip on how to determine if a news story may be fake: check the date. Older stories are sometimes passed off as new ones. It's true for milk, and it's true for news! #DoubtIt#misinformation#fakenews#elxn43#cdnpoli https://t.co/SO48Vu2Fca
Stef was in j-school like a year and a half ago. She's now co-producing an investigative podcast and doing just a hell of a job. If you're a young storyteller, get into this medium. It's the closest thing to a meritocracy that exists in journalism.
