Business journalists arrive for Reynolds Week
We will have full coverage next week of the two seminars that make up Reynolds Business Journalism Week, Jan. 5-8 in Phoenix.
The Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism awarded 12 fellowships to its “Strictly Financials Seminar” for working journalists and 12 fellowships to its “Business Journalism Professors Seminar.”
Reynolds Week is held at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where the Reynolds Center is based.
These competitive fellowships, valued at $2,000, cover all seminar expenses.
“The dramatic increase in number of applications this year underscores the strong interest journalists have in improving their financial skills and the importance universities are now placing on business journalism,” said Andrew Leckey, president of the Reynolds Center. “It is an honor to have these fellows join us this January.”
The financials seminar covers stock markets, financial statements, options and SEC documents. The professors seminar covers how to teach a hands-on, university course in business journalism.
FOURTH ANNUAL EVENT
The fourth annual seminars will be led by award-winning professors and journalists, including three-time Pulitzer winner Walt Bogdanich, business investigations editor for The New York Times. Take a look at last January’s seminars.
A highlight will be a discussion with the legendary investigative-reporting duo of Don Barlett and Jim Steele, along with the awarding of trophies to the 2009 winners of the Reynolds Center’s Barlett & Steele Awards for Investigative Business Journalism.
Deadline to apply for the 2011 seminars is Nov. 1, 2010. More information is available at BusinessJournalism.org.
