(The Neighbourly Team's suggestion: Taskmaster on TVNZ, because watching celebrities do silly things over dinner is the end to the day we all need!)

I'm planning to run four media-based, in-person workshops at my home near Devonport, with a late October/early November start. The course will include free induction material. The workshops have been well-researched. I will have them peer-reviewed.
My background is as a sports freelance writer. I have been published by Stuff, the Herald and newsroom.co.nz (LockerRoom). I also teach English to second language learners.
I worry for the future of news, around issues of integrity and ethics. My goal is that workshop participants will care enough about the subject of news to want to become active in protecting its value and trust. And for participants to perhaps consider becoming involved in the media field through freelancing or more.
See attached for further information on what will be covered in the four workshops and the cost of each- which I've sought to keep as reasonable as possible :)

Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.
At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.

We hope this brings a smile!

No matter how broken, repair them with your experience that is gold worthy.

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...
We hope this news brings a smile!
