Writing About Immigration: Framing Stories Without Prejudice

This event has now happened and is being offered as a watch back — if you sign up, you will receive a recording and worksheets.

Have you ever found yourself looking to cover immigration, but unsure as to if you're doing so responsibly? Do you feel daunted by bias, terminology, and conscious of communicating policy in a helpful way?

Join journalist, storyteller, and founder of The Immigrant Gaze, Inyang Edoho for a new workshop on how to write about immigration and frame stories without prejudice. We'll cover:

• Why coverage of immigration matters and using statistics in the right way;
• Best practice and why the words you use matter;
• How to work well with your sources;
• Recognising and working against your bias;
• Ethical considerations;
• How to focus on the individual – and not have them as representative of a group.

As with all our events, there will also be the chance to ask your own questions both live and in advance.

This is normally 24-48 hours after the session to allow time for us to edit the recording.

Watch Back / Recorded: If you just want to watch back, please select a recorded ticket. This allows us to keep a handle on numbers and make sure we have enough seats around our virtual table.
