The Free Press Journal School Edition organised a three-day online journalism workshop from May 19–21 to introduce students to reporting, editing, and news writing. Through interactive sessions and practical exercises, participants learned key journalistic skills. Students praised the programme for boosting their confidence, improving writing abilities, and inspiring future interest in journalism.

The Free Press Journal (School Edition) has long been committed to strengthening students’ writing abilities and encouraging young learners to engage with journalism in a structured and meaningful way. Continuing this vision, the FPJ School Reporters initiative organised a three-day online journalism workshop for aspiring student reporters, held from May 19 to May 21, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The online workshop was designed to introduce students to the foundational elements of journalism while providing practical exposure to writing and editing news. Led by an education consultant from The Free Press Journal, the sessions aimed to bridge classroom learning with real-world reporting skills, making journalism accessible, interactive, and engaging for school students.

Throughout the programme, students were introduced to key journalistic principles and essential editing techniques that form the backbone of effective reporting. Students learned how small details can significantly improve clarity, accuracy, and overall impact in writing.

In addition to news writing techniques, participants also explored newspaper editing, common writing errors, and the use of literary devices. These lessons helped students understand how language can be used both precisely and creatively in journalism. The interactive format ensured active engagement, with discussions, examples, and writing exercises forming a key part of each session.
