Oregon News Incubator Free Investigative Business Journalism Seminar

[Bill Lascher]

Since this didn't come through any of the normal channels through
which I get journalism event information I thought I'd forward this to
other journalists in the region who also may not have received this
(on that note, if you're with the OR/WA SPJ please let me know how I
can get on your mailing list for this sort of event, since I am an SPJ
member):

Event: “Investigative Business Journalism on a Beat” - Free
Investigative Business Journalism Training in Portland, Ore.

When: May 7, 2010
Where: University of Oregon’s Turnbull Portland Center
Pulitzer winner Gary Cohn and former Washington Post investigative
reporter Alec Klein will offer a FREE full-day workshop on Friday, May
7, sponsored by the Reynolds Center for Business Journalism and the
Oregon and Southwest Washington Chapter of the Society for
Professional Journalists, and hosted by the University of Oregon’s
Turnbull Portland Center. “Investigative Business Journalism on a
Beat” will walk participants through the investigative story from
start to finish: refining and pitching an idea, developing and
interviewing sources, plumbing public documents, and organizing and
presenting the story effectively in multimedia. Come with an idea for
an investigative project, and leave with a story pitch to take back to
your editors. The emphasis will be on pursuing investigations while
still covering your beat. The event is free, but limited to 50 people.
