We’re now opening registration for our exciting new workshop, Watchdog Journalism: Investigative Reporting for Community Newspapers. It’s Wednesday, Oct. 20, on campus here in Fort Worth.
This is the first workshop on investigative reporting ever done exclusively for community newspapers. It’ll feature information on:
- How to use the Web as an investigative tool
- How to dig deeper with data and documents
- How to bulletproof a story
- How to make sense of the Census
- How to watchdog businesses and nonprofits
- … and lots more.
We’re not going to tell you how to build an I-team and spend lots of money and time on investigations. This is, after all, the real world. What we will do is show you how to extend everyday beat reporting into investigative journalism. The speaker is Mark Horvit, head of Investigative Reporters and Editors, and he’s a really good presenter whom you’re sure to enjoy.
The workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. here on campus in the Kelly Center – the small conference center where so many of you have attended TCCJ workshops. The workshop is free, and even lunch is on us. But seating is limited, and when we’re full, we’re full. So don’t delay registering online.
To register, click here.
If you live too far to drive in just for the day, we have arranged great rates for you at Trinity Innsuites, about 10 minutes from campus and easy to find just east of Fort Worth on Interstate 30. But you will need to reserve your own room at the hotel. Click here for more info on TCCJ hotel rates.
Let us know if you have questions about this dynamic workshop. And as always, we’re looking forward to seeing many of you here in Cowtown.
Just a couple of additional pieces of information:
- The Video on the Go workshop is full, but we hope to schedule another one. If you’d like to attend and couldn’t get in, please go here and fill out a less-than-a-minute-to-take survey to let us know the best time to schedule it.
- And if, like George Strait, you’ve just got Fort Worth on your mind and would like to come again in October, the Schieffer School and TCCJ are hosting APME’s NewsTrain here on campus Oct. 12 and 13. For more information on this great workshop, click here.
And that’s just the beginning of some exciting opportunities we’re working on for Texas newspapers. Stay tuned…. |
