Free training from professional journalists
As a not for profit publisher, Newham Voices is currently unable to pay volunteer contributors, however we are able to offer potential correspondents a choice of free training workshops delivered by friendly, experienced journalists, and worth hundreds of pounds.
All our courses are currently delivered online via Zoom due to the Covid-19 restrictions. We are happy to provide instruction on accessing Zoom if you are new to the software. When the Covid-19 crisis is over we will provide the courses face to face at a local college.
