Master class Jon Ronson

Yesterday the year 12 and 13 media students and year 12 theatre studies students met Jon Ronson the writer and Journalist (see interview below). It was fascinating to see how productions are developed and the process of optioning a book to be made into a film. We also discussed the ethics of journalism ie. what is printed from interviews especially if the writer thinks the interviewee has made a mistake in expressing that view. Should he go ahead and print. It provoked a healthy debate. His stories were highly entertaining and thought provoking and the students found the whole experience exciting and fascinating. A big thanks to Jon Ronson for giving his time.
