We offer you a few more exercises:

Interview
Write an interview. Choose a subject. It can be a close relative, a friend, or an interesting person who might appeal to a broader audience (a local artist, writer, or blogger). You can conduct the interview in person or agree on a remote format and send your questions via a messenger or social media platform. You can even interview yourself—create questions and answer them on your own. In this case, imagine questions from a fictional journalist and respond to them.

Another exercise: News story based on a painting
Find any painting you like online and create a news story around it. Completely invent the characters, their names, and the events connected to the painting. For example, regarding Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, you could create a story about the opening of the artist’s exhibition during his lifetime, including comments from the model and his apprentices. While inventing events is not allowed in real journalism, this is a helpful exercise for learning.

Next practical exercise: Write a non-journalistic piece—an article with tips or hacks.
Choose any topic. For instance, “How to Take Great Vacation Photos” or “Tips for Writing Engaging Texts,” and write an article offering advice. In this case, you can draw on your own experiences and knowledge, or research information online.
