How To Adapt Stories For Different Platforms – And Make More Money
Share this event
This event has now happened and is being offered as a watch back.
Do you have a story that you feel has a longer shelf-life than the daily news cycle? Are you keen to find new media avenues for your best work – and make more money?
In this new workshop from senior journalist Hannah Shewan-Stevens, we'll look at how to adapt our best stories for different platforms – from a daily news piece to radio to TV. We'll cover:
- How to turn one story idea into multiple stories spanning all media platforms;
- How to change one story into five different versions (including feature article, opinion piece, or listicle) by reshaping the medium with additional data, case studies, and experts;
- How to turn a story from a TV news segment into a radio interview, full feature, short-form documentary and more;
- How to pitch story ideas and case studies for TV, radio, and podcasts.
As with all our events, there will also be the chance to ask your own questions both live and in advance.
