In Syracuse, IRE is combining its highly rated Better Watchdog Workshop for reporters, editors, and producers with a special program for midlevel editors, called Unleashing the Watchdogs/NewsTrain. The Better Watchdog track will offer practical nuts and bolts instruction for reporters, especially those at small- to medium-sized newsrooms and in bureaus of larger news organizations. The instructors will be experienced journalists and trainers from IRE. The Unleashing the Watchdogs/NewsTrain track will feature watchdog sessions brought by IRE and management, editing and multi-media sessions from APME’s NewsTrain. Watchdog sessions feature top editors who have years of experience in producing investigative and enterprise work.. They share tips and techniques on how to get watchdog journalism done, especially from reporters covering beats and daily stories. NewsTrain’s teachers will focus on ways to use multi-media approaches for powerful journalism and ways to effectively plan coverage and manage a staff in changing newsroom times. Both Better Watchdog and Unleashing the Watchdogs/NewsTrain include an overview of watchdog reporting, effective use of FOI and effective use of the Internet. |
