Workshop: Current Affairs
There is always one or two pieces of news that keep us up at night. In this workshop, we will dissect the structure of how a narrative unfolds and discuss in greater detail characteristics of a crisis story. You will work in a group to contextualize a story of your choice and discuss its implications on your decision-making.
