Google News Initiative
I’m excited to announce I’ll be continuing my role as the Western Australian representative for the Google News Initiative in 2021.
This will be my third year in the role. Last year, I was fortunate to have attended a week-long workshop at Google’s HQ in Sydney, for an extensive masterclass on the latest digital tools and tricks. This includes researching and verifying online data and content and creating visuals to help incorporate complex data into a simple format for digital storytelling. I will be undergoing further training in March 2021.
The aim of the Google News Initiative is to train 4000 journalists and students across Australia in Google’s new tools designed to help the news industry thrive in the digital age.
The workshops run for between one and four hours and are free for newsrooms and universities.
If you’d like to book in a workshop, please get in contact at katefergusonmedia@gmail.com
Please note, I am still working as a freelance journalist and media producer during this appointment.
