Most people learn about archaeological discoveries through the media, so this final Dig School explores the dark arts of journalism – crafting and communicating news stories about what you have done and discovered in your archaeological investigations.
If these have interested you, they will interest others, and in ‘Show and Tell’ you will learn how to focus on the key information that will draw your audience in, and how to communicate what’s interesting and important so that others can enjoy being intrigued by learning something new.
