WORKSHOPS
NewsLab's executive director, Deborah Potter,
conducts journalism workshops in a variety of settings. We offer
newsroom training on writing, storytelling, ethical decision-making,
and other topics. Workshops range from an hour or two to half-day,
full-day or multiple day sessions. We often provide training at
state, regional and national journalism conferences, and we can
work directly with your newsroom to develop specialized training.
Here's the current schedule, and a brief list
of partner organizations. Among other issues, we have recently
led workshops on:
- Telling the non-visual story
- Writing to pictures
- Better broadcast writing and storytelling
- Writing for the Web
- Podcasting for print people
- On camera training for print reporters
- Disaster preparation
- Standups and live shots
- Reporting under pressure (crisis coverage)
- Journalism ethics
- Training for journalism trainers
- Time management
- Assignment desk management
We are an independent non-profit, and provide training for a reasonable
fee.
