Mobile Journalism Workshop - Create Better Stories Using Your Mobile Device

Date: 1 August 2026 
Time: 19h30 to 16h00
Duration: 1 Full Day

In a world where content is constant and attention is limited, the ability to tell a clear, and engaging story is what sets you apart. The one-day Mobile Journalism workshop is designed to provide you with a complete, start-to-finish understanding of how to create meaningful video content using the device you already have in your pocket.

The course begins by demonstrating how your smartphone can be utilized as a filmmaking tool, illustrating how to maximise its capabilities and where simple accessories, such as a microphone, can significantly elevate quality of production. From there, you’ll be introduced to the core principles of journalism.

You’ll then move into the storytelling process, learning how to identify a strong story, shape your narrative, and plan your shoot with intention. This pre-production phase is key to ensuring that your content is focused, structured and impactful before you even start recording.

The production section of the course focuses on practical shooting techniques, including framing, sound, movement and capturing footage that is purposeful and professional. You’ll learn how to work efficiently in real-world environments, adapting to different scenarios while maintaining a strong visual standard.

From there, the course transitions into post-production, where you’ll learn how to edit your footage into a cohesive final piece directly from your mobile device. This includes structuring your story, refining pacing, and ensuring your content communicates clearly and effectively.

The workshop concludes with a focus on distribution and audience engagement, exploring how to position and share your work across platforms making sure it reaches the right people and achieves its intended impact.

What You'll Take Away:

• The basics of journalism: truth, balance, objectivity
• How to approach a story (pre-production)
