Unlock a Pipeline of New Talent!

I just finished the Press Pass course that you signed me up for. I think it was an amazing way to learn about the journalism world and get a lot of great advice for how to handle situations, and just cover the bases of working with a publication. I think this would be a great thing for any new writers that come on board with Star Publications. 

I think the best part of it too was that it covered all topics around working for the press. It covered interviews, writing, editing, taking pictures, writing cutlines, legal aspects and it gave ideas about where to find stories. I'll be glad to answer any questions you would like to know about the course if you have any!
Thank you!
