Get Ready to Grow

You prepared for four years (or more) and now you're working 40 hours a week (or more) as a professional journalist.

You’ve graduated from college and been working professionally for no more than three years, and now you’re looking for the keys to a successful, long-term journalism career. You will find a good start at the SPJ Reporters Institute this summer in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The Institute was designed with you in mind, by industry trainers and young journalists who face many of the same challenges you are confronting every day. We want you to successfully face those challenges, and we want to help.

During the June 10-13, 2012 program, we will tackle these topics:
— Writing for the Web
— Video Basics
— Creating Multiplatform Content
— Using Census Data
— Mobile Newsgathering
— Freedom of Information
— Active Listening
— And much more!

It’s a lot to accomplish in a few short days. It will be intense, and there will be some work involved. But we also promise some fun. And we’re betting that you’ll leave with a whole new support network of colleagues around the country who share a passion for journalism and are at similar points in their careers.

The total cost for the program is $300 plus your travel to The Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla.

So share this page with your manager, make the commitment together, and apply now for your spot at The Reporters Institute.
