The Raleigh Durham Chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ-RDU) hosted a “Making News” Media Access Workshop on October 5th. This interactive event brought together non-profit organizations, small businesses, and student leaders for a hands-on experience in media engagement.
Over the course of 4 hours, media professionals shared valuable insights on newsgathering, news story development, public service announcements, and commercial advertising.
Moderated by CBS17 News Anchor Rod Carter, the workshop empowered participants to collaborate with news organizations, craft effective press releases, and boost their publicity efforts. Attendees also gained valuable skills in online and social media outreach, AI tools, and interview preparation.
