Reporting workshops are described

This is hands-on, practical training

information responsibly; and writing
the complex story. The tools are

lists, alert services, home-grown
spreadsheets, and public records.
The schedule is flexible, depending
on your needs. Taught in the newsrooms

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel;
The Chicago Sun-Times, The Daily
Oklahoman; The Richmond Times-Dispatch;
