The networking event was a Guardian workshop on February 27th 2023. The event was with Jane who works behind the scenes at the Guardian news website and newspaper. I learned that producing news requires looking at different information to base reports on facts rather than opinions. There are many career opportunities in the news industry, such as journalism, research, and social media management. The event helped me understand the importance of fact checking for clients.
