Fall 2019 Political Media Workshop with Adam Moss
This workshop, run by former Editor-in-Chief of New York Magazine, Adam Moss, will take both a practical and intellectual approach to the question “how do we build a better political media?”
The workshop will run for 8 weeks, September 18 – November 6, 2019, meeting every Wednesday from 4:30-5:45 at the Shorenstein Center offices. Students can join for one workshop or participate in the entire series.
The workshop series will be broken into three parts:
- Evaluate and critique existing political media outlets. What’s working and what’s not?
- We will develop a prototype for a better political news website to address some of the problems we see in the existing landscape.
- We will create real content for this new kind of political news website. This phase will correspond with the ramp-up of the Democratic primary race late this fall.
This workshop series is open to Harvard undergraduates and graduate students interested in politics, practical media experience, a way to engage in current events, intellectual stimulation, and fun!
