Do you want to sharpen your approach to writing compelling and engaging print headlines? NewsU is offering a four-week online group seminar on "Writing Better Headlines" from June 2-27, 2008.
"Writing Better Headlines" will help you improve all facets of writing daily newspaper headlines. The course will explore using key words for headlines, making headlines more specific, pinpointing the best verbs to use, avoiding traditional headline traps and recognizing when and how to use word play.
Taught by Kenn Finkel, the course costs $249 and includes readings, assignments, due dates and discussions. Although evaluations and grades are not given, participants will get plenty of feedback.
The application deadline is May 5, 2008. Visit www.newsu.org/headlines to find out more and apply.
NewsU offers more than 60 focused, interactive courses that appeal to journalists at all levels of experience and in all types of media. NewsU is funded by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The program is a project of The Poynter Institute, a leader in journalism training.
