This workshop will feature top editors and trainers with a special focus on watchdog journalism; better editing techniques, and online journalism. We'll share tips and techniques on how to get watchdog journalism done, especially by reporters covering beats and daily stories.

The workshop will also cover the guiding of reporters in the effective use of the Internet, open records laws, computer-assisted reporting and anonymous sources.
