Authentic Adventure Journalism (By Laura Duggan, Director of Marketing & Communications)
"I want everyone to leave this course with the ability to write a solid and entertaining story about an outdoor adventure. They should know how to research, interview sources, use quotes, formulate a lede and nut graf, and structure both a profile and a first-person story."
And what better way to tell such a story than to jump right into a unique adventure soaring above pine trees with the Colorado River in the distance.
