The news starts with your spark. As journalists, we’re skilled at fanning the flames. But often times, there is a communication breakdown between the two parties and someone gets burned.

There are hundreds of ways you can reach us to have your story told. But only a few brilliant ways to do so. At the end of the day, we both want a genuine, compelling and entertaining story. We're going to share our experiences with you and let you in on a few secrets of the best ways to approach the press.

Co-teachers: This class will be co-taught by Courtney Boyd Myers of The Next Web and Justin Rocket Silverman of The Daily.

Note: All proceeds will be donated to Pencils of Promise, a New York City startup/nonprofit that builds schools in developing worlds.
