Come build yourself into a better journalist with a day-long conference packed with helpful, real-world tips from top presenters on Saturday, Jan. 23, at the George S. Turnbull Portland Center in Portland.
Spend the morning in a nationally recognized hands-on workshop on fact-checking from the American Press Institute (API). Then break out into sessions on a range of topics before ending the day with a panel discussion from reporters who covered the Oct. 1 Umpqua Community College shooting. Find out how they covered it, and how we can ethically report when tragedy hits our communities.
