EWA/Hechinger Joint Conference for Education Reporters at Small and Mid-sized Newspapers

Oct. 12-14, 2007

As the education beat reporter at a newspaper with 25,000 to 100,000 readers, you’re running as fast as you can to keep up with the demand for daily stories. You may not have the time to research major issues dominating the headlines in the West, like the growing Hispanic population, push for universal pre-kindergarten and desegregation. And what about the skills all reporters need to improve while coping with the daily rush -- observing classrooms, online reporting, and how to keep your reporting lively?

Our seminar, to be held Oct. 12-14 in San Francisco, is targeted for reporters like you, and will help you gain skills and background knowledge to cover your beat in a more comprehensive and efficient way. We will also offer optional mentoring sessions to review your strengths and weaknesses.
