News From The Future Spring 2016

Newsroom From the Future (NFF) is an entrepreneurial start up project that will blossom young writers and creatives into time-traveling-world-changing journalists and media makers. The principle goal of the NewsRoom is to write and design a new type of newspaper that predicts a future world we want to see.

Instead of writing about how the world sadly currently is, we are writing about how amazing it can be. All of this is to be done on mid century mechanical typewriters.

Journalists of the newsroom will learn the art of classic typing, develop strategies for starting a media company, discuss the world’s most pressing issues, learn the art of blogging & web design, and be apart of an amazing team of creative visionaries who are working to bring us good news today.

Students who participate in the program also have the opportunity to generate revenue for their own personal typewriter to be taken with them at the end of program and used for a lifetime.

This program is free to all pioneers from around Atlanta who can make it to The New School on Mondays at 4:30PM and are open to changing the world.

**It’s not too late to enroll even if you have missed the first 1-2 classes!**
