Alive and Diverse

We need to keep journalism alive and diverse.

Over the past year or so, I’ve been doing journalism/editorial workshops with the likes of Tattva – a wonderful non-profit that nurtures aspiring authors – and it’s something I want to more of on a voluntary basis.

Given the obvious barriers that persist in journalism and publishing, I want to do whatever I can to help make the industry more accessible.

I’m offering my help as a tutor, mentor, or speaker for any organisation representing young people from underprivileged backgrounds.

Just to be clear: I don’t wish to compete with anyone who already does this for a job. My intention is not to take away from any paid-work opportunities. I just want to help groups with limited to no resources.

If your organisation (or one you know of) could use help on subjects like writing, editing, story structure, interview techniques, pitching article ideas, etc., then just let me know. I’d love to get involved.
