Native advertising and sponsored content for journalists
Create meaningful paid-for content that entertains and informs your audience in this two-day course.
Native advertising and sponsored content can offer a win-win for news organisations and their clients, but creating it is an art. We owe our audiences credible, useful news and information, and we owe clients a compelling story that showcases their brand. How do we balance the two without compromising our journalistic ethics? Learn to create sponsored content and native advertising that ticks everyone’s boxes, adding value to clients and audiences while publishing content that your newsroom can be proud of.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Create sponsored content that is valuable to your audience and in line with your news brand
- Establish clear guidelines around editorial control and oversight
- Put transparency and authenticity at the centre of your work
- Conceptualise winning campaigns for potential clients
- Tell a compelling story to “soft sell” a brand
