Expert journalist and Carleton University professor Paul Adams is back by popular demand. His 2017 storytelling and citizen journalism workshop is now a benchmark for the 613U program. While there are not prerequisites for any 613U course, first-time participants are encouraged to start with Paul’s “Storytelling I: The Citizen Journalist”.
