IRE Watchdog Workshop Coming to Columbus
Hosted by Otterbein University-Department of Communication
Co-sponsored by SPJ-Central Ohio Chapter
IRE is bringing its highly rated Better Watchdog Workshop to Columbus.
They’ll offer several of their core sessions that will improve your ability to find information on the Web quickly, point you to key documents that will help you produce quick-hit enterprise stories and give you tips on the best approaches when conducting interviews or developing sources.
In addition, this workshop will give you tips on how to bulletproof stories, how to deal with freedom of information laws and public records, and useful Web sites and strategies for using Internet tools such as wikis, blogs, robots and RSS feeds.
These sessions are designed for reporters, editors and producers from small, midsize and large publications, TV and radio stations and Web-only news sites and news blogs. Join IRE’s experienced trainers and a group of veteran reporters for our Better Watchdog Workshop May 21, with an extra half-day of hands-on computer-assisted reporting training on May 22 for those who are interested.
Get the tools and the tricks of the trade that you need to be a better, faster, watchdog journalist.
Optional Computer-Assisted Reporting Training will be held Sunday, May 22, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Limited seating is available so registration is required.
