About this event
There's a new module in our Advocate to Journalist course called One Story from Start to Finish by Thin Lei Win. In this lesson, Thin takes you through two of her published pieces that touch on the intersections of food systems, climate change and environmental issues. As you go through the articles, you'll be encouraged to formulate your own stories and think about how to pitch them to media outlets. Check out the module here and join us on Thursday, October 13th for a Q&A session with Thin Lei Win. She'll also be providing us with tips and tricks on how to effectively cover food systems in your writing.About Thin Lei WinThin Lei Win is an award-winning Rome-based multimedia journalist specializing in food and climate issues for various international news media including through her own newsletter Thin Ink.
