This program is the second part of a two-part workshop, limited to 20 participants. The first of which focuses on the steps needed to create an effective opinion piece.
Participants will have prepared a draft opinion piece and submitted it to the workshop leaders. Upon receiving permission from authors, we will workshop 3-4 opinion pieces with all the participants.
This Part II session will happen two weeks after Part I. All participants will receive feedback from our three media professionals and advice on next steps toward publishing in the New York PhilanthroPost and potentially other media outlets.
