The Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues has partnered with the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism and state press associations to bring free training in business journalism to community journalists at the University of Kentucky on April 13.
"Uncovering the Best Local Business Stories" will take place at the Gatton College of Business and Economics. It is free for journalists and for journalism students and faculty, but advance registration is required. Instructors will include Linda Austin, right, executive director of the Reynolds Center; John Cheves of the Lexington Herald-Leader; Carlie Kollath of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, Tupelo; and Chris Roush of the University of North Carolina.
Attendees will learn how to find stories in the business of government, and how to cover economic-development agencies at the state and local levels. The workshop will also cover locating public information on private companies, finding stories in publicly available databases and about small businesses, and localizing national and international stories for local audiences. This free training is geared to the needs of generalists in smaller newsrooms and business journalists looking to jump-start their local coverage.
