Friday evening, hear first-hand from the local news audience about local coverage. Saturday, examine actual case studies in order to develop sound ways to improve your coverage of breaking news, contentious issues, and stories that reflect your community. Discover new story ideas and resources for covering elected officials, the influence of money in politics and public policy, and issues of government ethics. Veteran political and investigative reporters will offer advice on how to pitch stories to managers, manage time and resources efficiently, and make political coverage interesting to viewers and listeners. The workshop is sponsored by The Radio and Television News Directors Foundation in partnership with Investigative Reporters and Editors and the Medill School of Journalism.
Registration is on a first come, first serve basis.
Participants are responsible for their own travel. This is one of National Press Photographers Association's premier programs for women working in television news. This powerful program will feature the best in the business. We are glad to have on the program CNN photojournalist Amy Merz. Merz was recently featured in the February issue of News Photographer Magazine.
