I recently gave a talk at this year’s Online News Association (ONA) conference, which attracts about 2,500 journalists from around the world. I led a talk on fast writing and powerful storytelling and also taught the session to a journalism class at the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin, where I work.
The crowd at the ONA talk was standing-room only, with more than 300 people. It was proof that journalists are hungry for writing tips and techniques. And leading the session was a reminder of how much I love teaching writing — to young students and to working journalists.
