Hit the journalism jackpot in Vegas!

Combining the best of IRE's broadcast journalism sessions and Better Watchdog Workshops, IRE's regional conference in Las Vegas, Sept. 10-12, will feature some the best journalists in the country sharing their knowledge.

The sessions will range from doing investigative pieces while covering a beat to following the money in campaign finance to effective Internet searches on deadline.

The conference will cost only $50 for IRE members and $90 for nonmembers (includes a $40 discounted membership). Students will get in for $25. IRE has negotiated great low hotel rates at the MGM Grand.

Computer-assisted reporting classes will be offered on Friday and Saturday on a first-come, first serve basis during the conference. The classes will last two hours each and cover the basics of using a spreadsheet for deadline and beat reporting on budgets, salaries, and Census data. You also can learn how to dig deeper using the Internet and find valuable data for your stories.

You can bet you'll leave Las Vegas with many new skills, new ideas and a new enthusiasm for investigative journalism.
