This workshop is aimed at journalists who work in any medium who want to build their data/investigative skills, their narrative storytelling abilities and their knowledge of HIV & AIDS. Come if HIV & AIDS is a part of your ongoing beat or if you only have a general interest. Regardless you’ll come away with new story ideas (big picture, local, historic, investigative and features and arts oriented), new data/investigative/research skills and contacts so you can hit the ground running.
