    • 1.5-hour interactive group workshop

    The average read time for most online news articles is 55 seconds. That’s not a lot of time to communicate complex ideas! When reading is effortless and enjoyable, readers tend to stick around longer. In this workshop, we’ll cover techniques that journalists use to add drama, tension, colour, and life to even the driest subject matter. Whether you’re writing press releases, research papers, fact sheets, summaries or news articles, a sprinkle of sugar and spice will help keep your reader reading.
