Power
Reporting workshops are described
at http://PowerReporting.com/seminars_print.html.
This is hands-on, practical training
for journalists, focusing on daily
and deadline reporting, not long-term
projects. Each session helps reporters
and editors cover the news, and
react to breaking news. The skills
are checking facts on deadline;
backgrounding people, companies
and ideas; developing story ideas;
preparing for interviews; adding
depth to beat coverage; choosing
appropriate research tools; using
information responsibly; and writing
the complex story. The tools are
the World Wide Web, commercial
databases, CD-ROMs, E-mail, mailing
lists, alert services, home-grown
spreadsheets, and public records.
The schedule is flexible, depending
on your needs. Taught in the newsrooms
of The Oregonian; The Virginian-Pilot;
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel;
The Chicago Sun-Times, The Daily
Oklahoman; The Richmond Times-Dispatch;
The Birmingham News; The (Arlington
Heights, Ill.) Daily Herald; The
