Newspaper training day

The Peninsula News will present a workshop at a media training day for newspaper volunteers, organised by The Wave Community Newspaper at Bateau Bay.

Peninsula News editor Mark Snell will be among the presenters of workshops which are open to interested community members and volunteers on Saturday, August 21.

"This is a great opportunity to learn how to write for or to help with the production of a community newspaper, like Peninsula News or The Wave," said Mr Snell.

"It should be helpful to community groups who want to publicise their activities or get a message across."

The Wave is a new tabloid community newspaper with a distribution of 11,000 in the Bateau Bay area.

It is run by volunteer writers, photographers and production people, and is coordinated by the Benevolent Society.

The media training workshop will be held at Tuggerah Lakes Community Centre at Bay Village, Bateau Bay, and will be free to registrants.

Contact Valerie at The Benevolent Society Central Coast on 4353 4688 for further information and to register or email valerieh@bensoc.org.au.
