Narrative Writing Workshop:
SPJ invites early career reporters and front-line editors from small and mid-size daily newspapers to step out of the inverted pyramid and into the art of the storytelling! Through SPJ's Narrative Writing Workshops, participants will learn options for reinvigorating the writing craft. New dates announced for 2008 — register today!
Ethnic Media Training:
SPJ's Ethnic Media Training program will explore the ins and outs of Freedom of Information laws — and how to use them in daily reporting. The session will include a primer on the FOI laws related specifically to each location, as well as guidelines for successful use of the federal FOI law. Participants will see how these laws can be used to create quality journalism, and get some great ideas for producing document-driven stories of their own. Registration for all five events is now open, so sign up today!
