Do you have a compelling story to tell about Johannesburg but haven’t figured out how to tell it just yet? The thought of hooks, a script and editing put you off? Well, we might have something to remedy that.
The Wits Centre for Journalism is partnering with Dan Corder to run a free three-day content creation workshop for enrolled Wits University students. You can be from any faculty, any year, with little to no technical skills – just a unique story about our city.
To apply for one of 24 spots, fill in this Google Form giving us some more detail on your story. We’re specifically looking for a title, hook and short description of your idea.
Applications close on 30 June.
Workshop dates: 22 – 24 July 2026.
Venue: Wits Centre for Journalism, Floor 12, Es’kia Mphahlele Building, Braamfontein.
