There’s a certain “why not us” feel to The Tyee’s plan to start offering classes to its readers. The Vancouver news site is known for being somewhat experimental in its approach to funding and producing its work, so hosting what they’re calling “master classes” in their newsroom just sort of fits.
The Tyee’s classes are made up of seven weekend courses led by the site’s staff and contributors. Topics range from photography and memoir writing to document sleuthing and how to run low-budget political campaigns. (No intermediate Spanish or “release the poet in you” course.)
