Investigating Local Government: A Poynter / IRE Hands-On Seminar Sep 16, 2013 - Sep 20, 2013 Apply By:  Aug 12, 2013

The low $300 tuition for this seminar is made possible by a generous grant from The Buck Foundation.

Join The Poynter Institute and Investigative Reporters and Editors for an intensive, practical hands-on workshop to teach journalists how to investigate and report on their local governments. The workshop is especially focused toward newsrooms that do not have big budgets or staffs to produce exhaustive projects.

We will accept multiple journalists from the same newsroom.  We welcome journalism educators and grad students!

Price: $300.00

Critical Thinking: Using Journalism Forensics to Unlock the Story

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

You will learn how to know if a photo has been altered, what questions to ask when a source makes a claim, how to know who posted a YouTube video or how to listen to political speeches with "radar ears."
This will be a highly practical session, low on theory and high on useability.
