Seminars begin Tuesday
Beginning tomorrow, the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism is hosting fellows for its “Strictly Financials Seminar” for working journalists and its “Business Journalism Professors Seminar.”
Educators and journalists from all different parts of the country will settle in for a week of learning about financials and the essentials of teaching business journalism. The training will be held at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, where the Reynolds Center is headquartered.
Sessions throughout the week will be led by top-notch presenters, including Diana B. Henriques, a senior financial writer for The New York Times, Greg McCune, Reuters Americas Training Editor and Jodi Schneider, the director of training and development for the newsroom of Congressional Quarterly.
