Learn tricks and tips for telling stories on mobile apps – join the Journalism and Women Symposium, Southern California (JAWS SoCal) and the Online News Association, Los Angeles (ONA LA) for this special program.
This beginner’s workshop will have attendees out and about and shooting with apps such as Anchor, Instagram, Periscope, Snapchat and Vine. It’s a great opportunity for those who have never used these apps before to learn the basics. Social media leads will give some tips/instructions and examples to start off, then offer an ‘assignment’ to the group that will allow you to use some of the different basic features of the app. During the activity, they’ll provide advice and answer questions, genius-bar style.
Attendees are requested to come with their phones charged and have signed up with an account on the app they want to try out.*
