We're solidifying the schedule and topics for the storytelling workshops with Jacqui Banaszynski, as well as some baggers Amy and I are going to do. Check the left rail under 'Coming up' for dates, times, presenter and topic.
Note that the first two are:
April 8, 4:30 p.m. -- Amy on the writing process and "forensic editing."
April 22, noon -- Jacqui on a deeper look at focusing and organizing, and how a conversation between reporter and editor can help.
We've set this up to be an integrated year-long schedule of workshops aimed at practical reporting/writing/editing skills: Amy or I will do a bagger; the following month, Jacqui's video workshop will drill deeper on some aspect of what Amy or I talked about. We've staggered the times between noon and 4:30 to give those who work early or late a chance to be in at least two sessions with Jacqui.
Jacqui's goal, she said in an e-mail as we were working on this, is to "provide real tools on very focused topics" so that you'll leave the session with concrete and practical things you can apply to your work.
It's gonna be great stuff, an opportunity few newsrooms will have.
As always, if there are some specific things you'd like covered in these sessions, let me know and we'll try to work them in.
