These interactive sessions delivered by journalists are designed to bring students behind the scenes of the journalism industry, explaining how news is sourced, fact checked, and delivered to audiences across multiple platforms including print newspapers, news websites, podcasts, and video.
Students will learn about the standards of responsible journalism, get advice and inspiration on their own writing, and discuss topics including misinformation, AI, social media issues, and the watchdog role of the press.
*Our Pop-Up Newsrooms are now fully booked for 2025/26*
Contact Lisa Buckley (lbuckley@newsbrands.ie) if you wish to be put on a waiting list for a workshop for your class.
The best way to ensure a successful visit that meets your learning objective for the day is to do some pre-visit planning with the journalist. Be sure to let the journalist know what news literacy topics your class is learning about and if your students are writing entries for the journalism competition. Please note waiting lists apply for this initiative but we do the best we can to arrange as many workshops as possible.
