More than 750 journalists representing 401 newsrooms across the nation attended the Reynolds Center 's inaugural Cycle I High Intensity Business Journalism daylong workshops in February, March and April.
“The enthusiasm and number of participants underscore the fact that today's journalists sincerely want to do a better job of covering business,” said Andrew Leckey, Director of the Reynolds Center . “We expect this enthusiasm to carry into our Cycle II Investigative Business Journalism workshops.”
It's now time to register for Cycle II “Investigative Business Journalism” workshops that begin in May.
“Investigative Journalism” workshops will feature in various cities top investigative journalists such as Diana Henriques of The New York Times, John Emschwiller of The Wall Street Journal, Alec Klein of The Washington Post, Don Barlett and/or Jim Steele of Time magazine, and Jeff Manning of The Oregonian.
As with Cycle I, hosts for these free daylong Reynolds Center workshops are news associations, publications and universities across the country. The Center is funded by a grant from the Las Vegas, Nevada-based Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.
“The entire seminar had a way of invigorating my interest in aggressively reporting on my beat,” said Matt Monaghan of the Statesman Journal in Salem, Ore., who attended the Portland workshop.
Understanding numbers is an important component attendees value.
“The seminar took the fear out of business reporting,” said J.C. Wilson of the Pekin Daily Times in Pekin , Ill. , who attended the Chicago workshop. “I'll no longer cringe at the thought of balance sheets and annual reports.”
